11.10.2024 Lütgert trade fair appearance at the RESATEC stand at SOLIDS 2024
As a guest exhibitor at the SOLIDS trade fair stand of our Swiss partner RESATEC, we were able to present the versatile application possibilities of the motorised rockers to decision-makers from the granulate, powder, bulk solids and recycling industries this week. The well-attended trade fair resulted in many interesting discussions with potential customers.
04.10.2024 Annual reunion with Lütgert pensioners
The annual Lütgert retiree reunion is a long-standing tradition and a great opportunity to stay in touch with former colleagues. They all share a common professional career, often spanning decades, in the foundry, mechanical production or administration.
12.09.2024 Congratulations on a long company anniversary
There have been two big anniversaries to celebrate in the last few days. Marika Gerdtoberens can now look back on a proud 40 years in the Lütgert team and Caroline Bauer has been with the company for 25 years.

05.07.2024 Congratulations on a successful training

07.06.2024 Investment in renewable energies
Finally, the green indicator light on the front of the meter cupboard lights up. With a total of 120 solar modules, a roof output of 50 KWp is now achieved. With the new photovoltaic system on the roof of our warehouse, we are making a visible contribution to climate protection and at the same time sustainably reducing our energy costs.
29.05.2024 Culinary company excursion to Koch- & Grillacademy in Gütersloh
It was obvious that a culinary company excursion to a fireplace would be a perfect match for us as the "hottest company in town". In the best outdoor kitchen weather, Lütgert invited all administrative employees and the heads of technical production to Michelin-starred chef Patrick Speck's cookery and barbecue academy.
08.02.2024 Cost-intensive investment in new control system for oxy-fuel burner
In addition to the cupola furnace, an oxy-fuel burner system is one of the most important systems in our iron foundry. By installing a new control system we were able to increase the performance of the burner, continue to guarantee precise temperature control and at the same time achieve considerable energy savings.
24.01.2024 New version of the LüCo TensionPro belt tension meter
As the successor to the LüCo TensionPro, we are now offering the new LüCo TensionPro2 version. With its highly sensitive sensor, the compact measuring device enables non-contact, acoustic measurement of the belt tension. The professional measuring device enables precise adjustment of the belt tension. This increases the efficiency of the drive and reduces energy costs at the same time.
11.01.2024 New motor base for optimum belt tension for motors up to 200 kW
To optimise belt drives with larger electric motors, we can now offer the new MW 10 motor base series in addition to the MW 8 series. The maintenance-free motor bases ensure ideal belt tension and even torque transmission. In addition, oscillations, vibrations and load peaks are absorbed and belt wear is minimised.
04.01.2024 Two Lütgert veterans go into retirement
Our foundry employees Ralf Zwick and Ottmar Schult, two long-serving members of our workforce, are taking their well-deserved retirement. We would like to thank them for many decades of hard work, diligence and loyalty. Both have developed into true experts in their field and have shaped and advanced the company in many areas.
20.10.2023 With company sport and jobbike strengthen health
To support the long-term health and fitness of our employees, we have been offering free or heavily discounted access to thousands of sports and wellness facilities as well as online courses with "Sportnavi" for some time now.

20.09.2023 NEW in assortment: Shaft-hub connections
With TAS Schäfer, we have been able to gain a market-leading supplier in the area of frictional shaft-hub connections (mechanical as well as hydraulic) as a partner. By expanding our product range with clamping sets, but also shrink discs, mounting flanges, flange couplings and shaft couplings, we are now in a position to offer our customers added value in the field of drive technology.
17.08.2023 Training year 2023 has started
With the 1st of August, a breath of fresh air has come into our production halls again. This year, three motivated young people are venturing with us on the "adventure of training". The initial excitement has subsided after a good two weeks on the job and their first visit to the local vocational school. After a total of three and a half years of training in our company, they will certainly be sought-after specialists as industrial mechanics and machinists respectively.
20.06.2023 Congratulations on passing the final exam
We are glad with this year's trainees for passing their final exams. Gerd Martin and Leon have both shortened their training period to three years and have now successfully completed their training. Not entirely self-evident, since a large part of the training was shaped by the pandemic.
15.06.2023 Honour for 50 years of loyal cooperation
In the past few days we were able to celebrate a very special anniversary. Our esteemed foundry foreman Ralf Zwick has now been with our company for 50 years and is thus a true Lütgert veteran.

18.11.2022 Grooved drum as steel-welded construction
Our core competence is customised products, so when conventional drive pulleys are not suitable, we advise on the drive design and manufacture of pulleys according to the individual requirements. This week, for example, several cylindrical grooved pulleys were produced as a welded steel construction in our mechanical production department.
10.10.2022 After-Work-Party with foodtruck
The last working day before the fall vacations ended this year with a small after-work party on the plant premises.

02.09.2022 14 casting-free days for extensive renovation and maintenance work
This year it was again time for the furnace relining. This is what we call the regular renovation of the heart of our iron foundry - the cupola furnace. The furnace is completely gutted from the inside and rebuilt from the bare inner furnace plate onwards. At the same time, we also completely overhauled the holding furnace and carried out comprehensive maintenance work in the foundry.
19.08.2022 Hitting the bull's eye with 3D archery for the employees
With the occasional team events, Lütgert actively tries to strengthen staff loyalty and team spirit. After a long break due to the pandemic, the Lütgert administration team was invited to a joint 3D archery event. A great change from distance and home office and at the same time a good opportunity to get to know their new colleagues better.
13.06.2022 Investment in CNC vertical machining centre
As an extension of our manufacturing workshop, we have invested in a new vertical CNC machining centre. With the new machine, workpieces weighing up to 700 kg can be accurately milled and drilled. This will once again substantially increase our performance, especially in the medium range.
08.03.2022 NEW: Info-PDF Motor Tensioning Systems
With our revised information document, we offer a detailed overview on the variety of different types of tensioning systems for electric motors.

Als Dank für seinen Einsatz als "Ausbildungsbotschafter" hat Lütgert-Azubi Niklas von der IHK Ostwestfalen eine Urkunde überreicht bekommen. Ziel des Projektes "Berufliche Bildungslotsen" ist es, jungen Menschen die Vielfalt der Berufswelt und vor allem der betrieblichen Ausbildung vorzustellen. Durch die Berichte der Ausbildungsbotschafter erfahren die Schülerinnen und Schüler von fast Gleichaltrigen wie sie den Übergang in die Ausbildung erlebt haben und welche Facetten eine Duale Ausbildung bietet.
