LPW remains on course and posts record order intake
For LPW Reinigungssysteme - as for so many companies - 2022 was characterized by really difficult and very demanding general conditions. Despite Corona aftershocks, the immense supply chain disruptions and explosion of energy and raw material costs, the cleaning specialists stayed on course.
Despite everything, the Swabian cleaning specialists from LPW were able to record a record level of incoming orders this year and an unprecedented level of project activity. Added to this is the implementation of orders in the high purity sector in completely new dimensions in terms of size and quality requirements. For example, the XXXL system for VAT in Malaysia, the ultra-fine cleaning system for Trumpf, or special concepts for additively manufactured medical implants for an international manufacturer. The share of sales in the high-purity segment of the various industries has increased disproportionately in 2022 and now fully determines business activities, both nationally and internationally. This is also reflected, among other things, in the steadily increasing cleanroom-based contract cleaning at the company's own test and service center, as well as in the form of new products, such as the PowerJet Compact CNp.
"The incalculable price developments, the poor or non-existent ability to deliver, crisis teams and constant improvisation - all of this naturally has an impact on the day-to-day processes in a company, can spoil one's mood in between and ultimately also ties up capacities that are urgently needed elsewhere. Added to this are the external burdens caused by the overlapping of several crises on the company and its employees, both privately and professionally. But it is precisely then that focus and cohesion are called for. As a company, you are well advised not to paralyze yourself and to continue working on the interesting tasks of the near future and to enjoy your successes," sums up LPW CEO Gerhard Koblenzer. LPW will not be bored in 2023 either: The demand for products and services related to technical cleanliness is increasing rapidly and steadily. This calls not only for good ideas and clever products, but above all for a strong team. "I am proud of our team and pleased that we have been able to maintain our training quota of almost ten percent even in stormy seas. After all, technical solutions and conceptual strength are nothing if personnel development doesn't go along with them," says Koblenzer.
