What Lantech Longwave does

Longwave S.p.A. (formerly Lantech Longwave) is an Italian IT services and system integration company headquartered in Reggio Emilia, operating through 12 offices across Italy and a Swiss subsidiary (LS International, Chiasso). Founded in 2000 and a subsidiary of Zucchetti Group since 2014, the company serves large enterprises, public administration, healthcare, schools and universities, SMEs, and telco/media/ISP clients with a portfolio spanning IT and cloud infrastructure, networking, unified communications and AV integration, modern workplace, digital advisory, managed services, and cybersecurity (including a RED Team). Named reference customers cover multiple industries — a multiutility, a metalworking leader, Coopservice (facility management), and Bondioli & Pavesi (agricultural machinery) — indicating a diversified enterprise book.

The company's core technology assets are two proprietary software stacks: the Mercury Suite (Booking, Orchestrator, Finder, Welcome Center, Contact Center) and the ITIL-based LION® Managed Services Suite, supported by a broad stack of vendor partnerships including Palo Alto Networks (Diamond), Sophos (Gold), and emerging collaborations with Ermes Cyber Security and CIONET. The firm holds an unusually deep compliance stack — ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 20000-1, ISO 37001, PAS 24000, and GDPR alignment — which functions as a procurement differentiator in PA and healthcare tenders.

Longwave's revenue model combines professional services (project-based and time-and-materials), recurring managed services revenue through LION®, and software licensing via the Mercury Suite. The company is privately held as a Zucchetti Group subsidiary with no publicly disclosed revenue or headcount figures, and operates with a €100,000 fully paid-up share capital (the statutory minimum for an Italian S.p.A.). No funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity are disclosed.
