Who we are

Headquartered in Bubendorf, Switzerland, we are a leading manufacturer of innovative joining technologies and your reliable partner for wood joining. Since our establishment in 1944, we have earned an excellent reputation for high-quality, precise and reliable products.

Our mission:
every connection counts

Technical joints and interfaces, personal cooperation and teamwork, partnership-based networking and bridge-building, a sustainable circular economy and ecosystems – all this is at the core of what we do every day.

Our values and code of conduct

The principles and values of our company were shaped by the Steiner family during its foundation and have been consistently practised and developed by all employees ever since. Over the years, the way we work with business partners and our approach to business commitments have changed, but the fundamental values have essentially remained the same.

Our roots: Looking back. Thinking ahead.

We are proud of our more than 50-year history. At the same time, we are looking ahead and continuously developing.

Since the beginning of Lamello's history, the pursuit of new insights, continuous improvements and system solutions have been at the heart of Lamello.

Hermann Steiner is the founder of Lamello, who launched his revolutionary idea, the wooden biscuit, in 1955. How it all started

Every milestone starts with an idea. However, defining or even revolutionary ideas don't just come about like that. It is only through many years of practical knowledge and intensive development work together with our customers that we have been able to constantly come up with new solutions, and in so doing decisively shape the market for wood joining technology and woodworking to this day.
