Lichtgitter GmbH was established in 1929 in order to fulfill specialized manufacturing needs and requirements for gratings. Continuous performance and quality development, innovation in manufacturing techniques and a progressive market-driven spirit of business development have ensured Lichtgitter's place among the leading manufacturers of gratings, perforated metal planks and spiral staircases worldwide.
With grating having so many different application potentials, Lichtgitter's customers continue to provide new challenges and opportunities every day. To meet the growing demands of its international customer base, Lichtgitter has grown its locations to include 28 subsidiaries in seven countries. This has been the driving factor for this family-owned company to create a global network of manufacturing, distribution and fabrication facilities.
Lichtgitter's most recent expansion into North America in Q1 2017 began right along the U.S. Gulf Coast in Houston. This facility will allow Lichtgitter to provide a domestic product offering in one of the largest grating markets in the world, which had previously been serviced by its European locations. This will also enable Lichtgitter to continue following its core philosophy to provide quality grating products with the shortest delivery times and provide clients with access to a world-class single- source grating solutions provider.
Lichtgitter will continue to push the envelope using technology and integrated manufacturing processes to identify and develop new solutions for grating usages.
Production procedures and machines (many protected by patent) were specially designed for the Lichtgitter production process. Gratings for normal and special loadings are produced with highly integrated welding and fabrication processes, which require a high level of technical expertise. The manufacturing processes cover gratings and perforated metal planks fabricated from steel, stainless steel and aluminum, which use electro-forging, punching or mechanical locking processes to make rigid panels that allow light, air, sound, heat and water to travel between multilevel structures.
Lichtgitter's product range allows countless applications for platforms and walkways, storage racking, security fencing, façade gratings, sun screens, ceiling tiles, and lighting fixtures and patterns, serving the industrial market as well as architectural and aesthetic purposes. Apart from the production of standard panels and gratings, special and custom-made gratings and perforated metal planks constitute a permanent and welcome challenge to Lichtgitter's professional staff.
Lichtgitter USA is committed to carrying forward Lichtgitter's long and ongoing story of success by meeting and maintaining consistently high standards and ensuring the best quality possible for customers, just as the company has for now over 80 years.
