Lantor BV

What Lantor BV does

Lantor BV is a Netherlands-based manufacturer of specialized nonwoven material solutions, founded in 1959 in Veenendaal and operating today from a single integrated production facility there. The company converts nonwoven fleeces into high-value technical materials across three focused product groups: Lantor Cable (waterblocking, bedding, binding, separation, flame-retardant tapes, and waterblocking yarns for power and fiber-optic cable manufacturers), Lantor Composites (core materials such as Coremat® Xi, Coremat® XM, Soric®, Skincore®, and Teccore® used in glass-fiber reinforced plastics for marine, automotive, wind energy, and other composite applications), and Lantor Condenstop (anti-condensation nonwovens for roofing and agricultural buildings). Lantor's competitive position rests on proprietary nonwoven and nonwoven-conversion technologies developed over more than 60 years — notably its patented Soric® foam-printing process, waterblocking superabsorbent tapes, Lantor HEAT*seal* splicing technology, semi-conductive carbon impregnation, and halogen-free flame-retardant coatings — supported by ISO 9001 certification and in-house laboratory testing.

Lantor sells through a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales from its Veenendaal headquarters with an extensive global distributor and partner network, supplemented by product-group-specific websites (Lantor Composites, Lantor Cable, Lantor Condenstop) and a content-driven technical marketing approach built around case studies, downloadable datasheets, and email/LinkedIn engagement. Customers include major cable manufacturers such as Prysmian and Nexans, premium automotive brands including Porsche and Bugatti, marine builders such as Bavaria Yachts and Beneteau, and industrial/energy customers such as GE.

Lantor BV is privately held and owned by Cathay Investments Ltd., a UK-based investment group, which provides the capital base for the business and is consistent with a long-term industrial hold strategy. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds have been reported, and headcount data is not available; the company has restructured around three product groups since 2016 and continues to extend its product family through patented additions such as Skincore® and Teccore®, while selective distribution agreements (e.g., Chase BlH2Ock® in Europe) broaden its cable portfolio without diluting its focus on tightly defined niches where it offers products that became industry benchmarks.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• TWE Group: TWE Group produces technical nonwovens (needlepunch, spunlace, thermal-bonded) for automotive interiors, filtration, construction and industrial applications; more focused on European automotive and industrial applications with overlap to Lantor's composite, building, and industrial nonwoven substrate markets.

Broad incumbents

• Freudenberg Performance Materials: Freudenberg PM produces a broad portfolio of technical nonwovens for automotive, construction, apparel, and industrial applications; competes with Lantor in nonwoven substrates for filtration, building, and transportation uses at greater scale and across more end markets.
• Lydall Inc. Lydall is a specialty engineered materials producer of nonwovens for filtration, industrial, and automotive applications; broader in filtration media but overlaps with Lantor's industrial nonwoven substrate businesses across thermal, bonding, and converting technologies.
• Berry Global (HHNF Division): Berry Global is a large diversified films and nonwovens producer whose industrial tapes and cable wrapping products compete with Lantor Cable in the cable-protection value chain, though Berry serves a much broader set of end markets beyond industrial nonwovens.

Direct peers

• Gurit Holding AG: Gurit is a global leader in composite core materials (PVC foam, PET foam, balsa) and structural engineering, directly competing with Lantor's Coremat, Soric, and Teccore product lines in marine, wind, and transportation composites. Both companies sell bulker and core materials to wind-turbine, marine, and automotive OEMs.
• Armacell International: Armacell is a global leader in flexible foam insulation and engineered foams, including PET foam core materials (ArmaFORM) for composites in transportation, wind, and building applications — overlapping with Lantor's composite cores and Condenstop insulation-style solutions.
• Chase Corporation: Chase Corporation produces specialty cable materials including the BlH2Ock waterblocking compound that Lantor distributes in Europe under partnership; Chase directly competes with Lantor in waterblocking and semiconductive cable tapes for power cable manufacturers.
• Diab International: Diab manufactures Divinycell PET foam and other core materials for composite sandwich structures used in wind energy, marine, aerospace, and industrial markets — direct overlap with Lantor Composites in end-use applications such as boats, wind blades, and transport.
• Scapa Group (Scapa Industrial): Scapa manufactures technical tapes, including cable binding/bedding and waterblocking tapes, for power and telecommunications cable producers — direct competitor to Lantor Cable's binding, separation and waterblocking tape portfolio supplying Prysmian/Nexans-style customers.
• 3A Composites: 3A Composites (AIREX and BALTEK brands) is one of the largest suppliers of foam and balsa core materials for sandwich composite construction in marine, transportation, and wind energy, competing head-to-head with Lantor's Coremat laminate bulkers in glass-fiber-reinforced plastic layups.
