Automation solutions
60 years of Lütze
Friedrich Lütze (1923 - 2014) founded Friedrich Lütze GmbH in Weinstadt near Stuttgart in 1958. Since then, the company has been developing and manufacturing electronic and electrotechnical components and system solutions for automation as well as high technology for railroad engineering. The family business is now managed by Udo Lütze in the second generation.
The Weinstadt-based company is a member of the globally active Luetze International Group and plays a central role within the group with its sales, production facilities and the development and research center.
With innovations and international patents, Lütze was one of the first companies to launch cables for drag chains on the market in the 1960s. The portfolio of industrial cables has been continuously developed and now covers 95 percent of all applications in industrial production. Cable assemblies and connection technology complement the cable specialist's range.
With the market launch of the LSC system for control cabinet wiring in 1972, control cabinet builders were able to save up to 30% space for the first time compared to the conventional setup with a mounting panel. With the further developed AirStream system, the company is now setting standards in terms of energy efficiency, space utilization and service life of the components in the enclosure.
Research and development have always been the focus for Lütze. In addition to the complete range of industrial power supplies, Lütze's Control range also covers the field of electronic overload and short-circuit monitoring. The LOCC-Box and LCOS CC systems guarantee intelligent and reliable current monitoring and all possibilities for integration into state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 applications.
Another important pillar of the company is rail technology with Lütze Transportation GmbH. In 2010, the company was one of the first 20 companies to meet the strict IRIS 02 railroad standard. kp
