Lantek, world leader in industrial software for the control and management of machines and factories in the metal sector, is a clear example of innovation. It dedicates 20% of its business, with an investment of 4.1 million euros, to R&D, an area to which nearly 70 of its 270 employees are dedicated exclusively. The company has received a grant from the SPRI Group‘s industrial cybersecurity program.

The company was founded in 1986 with technology as one of its pillars. Another axis is internationalization, where it started five years later in France and in 1996 in Germany, “something very unusual at that time for an industrial software company,” says Alberto López de Biñaspre, CEO of the company. “From being an organization focused on the development, marketing and integration of CAD/CAM software solutions specialized in cutting sheet metal, tubes and profiles, Lantek has been able to adapt and evolve, becoming one of the pioneering firms in driving the digital transformation of the metal sector through the creation and development of advanced manufacturing solutions.”

The sectors for which it works include all developments in the metal sector, from automotive and aeronautics to shipbuilding and shipyards, wind and solar energy, boiler-making, elevators, household appliances, agricultural machinery, buses and trucks, and medical and surgical equipment. The company’s solutions support more than 1,200 different machine tool models from more than 450 manufacturers.

The suite of products it offers is a “customized solution for the industrial world of sheet metal, tube and profile metal cutting.” It gets performance from the data it collects, allowing for material utilization, energy savings or real-time decision making.

López de Biñaspre alludes to the fact that they are the customers’ partner in this digital transformation process. “We accompany them with the advantage that we know both the machine and the latest technologies and we have that global vision that internationalization gives us, to check what works or not. We are able to identify what the customer really needs and the next step.” This service of controlling the machines in a factory, the production process and offering a global solution to the business based on data is unique.

The workforce is now made up of more than 270 people, half of them at its headquarters in the Álava Technology Park and the Iberdrola tower in Bilbao. In addition to its 20 offices in 14 countries, it has a “very global positioning with a network of distributors and partners where we do not have offices”. Exports account for 86% of its turnover, which reached 20.1 million last year. For this year, it expects business to grow by 30%.

The aid for industrial cybersecurity granted by the SPRI Group has been directed to diagnosis and improvement actions, a project under development. “It is something that as a technology company we must continue to do in search of continuous improvement in the field of cybersecurity.” López de Biñaspre points to inorganic growth. “We don’t rule out acquisitions as long as they are strategic.” And, undoubtedly, the increase in R&D&I investment “with grants such as those from the SPRI Group.”

Lantek, líder mundial del software industrial de control y gestión de máquinas y fábricas del sector del metal, es un claro ejemplo de la innovación. Dedica el 20% de su negocio, con una inversión de 4,1 millones de euros, a la I+D, área al que tiene dedicado en exclusiva a cerca de 70 de sus 270 empleados. La empresa ha recibido una ayuda del programa de ciberseguridad industrial del Grupo SPRI.

La compañía nace en 1986 con la tecnología como uno de sus pilares. Otro eje es la internacionalización, en la que empezó cinco años después en Francia y en 1996 en Alemania, “algo muy poco habitual entonces para una empresa de software industrial”, afirma Alberto López de Biñaspre, CEO de la compañía. “De ser una organización centrada en el desarrollo, comercialización e integración de soluciones software CAD/CAM especializada en el corte de chapa, tubos y perfiles, Lantek ha sabido adaptarse y evolucionar, convirtiéndose en una de las firmas pioneras en impulsar la transformación digital del sector del metal mediante la creación y desarrollo de soluciones de fabricación avanzada”.

Los sectores para los que trabaja son todos los desarrollos propios del sector del metal, desde automoción y aeronáutica a naval y astilleros, energía eólica y solar, calderería, ascensores hasta electrodomésticos, maquinaria agrícola, autobuses y camiones y material médico-quirúrgico. Las soluciones que ofrece la empresa controlan más de 1.200 modelos de máquina herramienta distintos de más de 450 fabricantes. 

La suite de productos que ofrece es una “solución personalizada para el mundo industrial del corte de chapa, tubos y perfil metálico”. Obtiene rendimiento de los datos que obtiene, con lo que permite aprovechar el material, ahorro energético o la toma de decisiones en tiempo real.

López de Biñaspre alude a que son el partner de los clientes en este proceso de transformación digital. “Les acompañamos con la ventaja de que conocemos tanto la máquina como las últimas tecnologías y tenemos esa visión global que nos aporta la internacionalización, de comprobar lo que funciona o no. Somos capaces de identificar lo que realmente necesita el cliente y el siguiente paso”. Ese servicio del control de las máquinas de una fábrica, el proceso de producción y ofrecer una solución global al negocio basado en los datos es único. 

La plantilla está conformada ahora por más de 270 personas, la mitad de ellas en sus sedes del Parque Tecnológico de Álava y la torre Iberdrola en Bilbao. Además de sus 20 oficinas en 14 países, tienen un posicionamiento “muy global con una red de distribuidores y partners donde no tenemos oficinas”. El 86% de su facturación, que el año pasado alcanzó los 20,1 millones, son exportaciones. Para este año, preven un crecimiento del negocio del 30%.

La ayuda para ciberseguridad industrial concedida por el Grupo SPRI se ha dirigido al diagnóstico y acciones de mejora, un proyecto en desarrollo. “Es algo que como empresa tecnológica debemos seguir haciendo en busca de una continua mejora en el ámbito de la ciberseguridad”. López de Biñaspre apunta al crecimiento inorgánico. “No descartamos adquisiciones siempre que sean estratégicas”. Y, sin duda, el incremento en inversión de I+D+i “con ayudas como las del Grupo SPRI”.
