LPC Computersysteme

What LPC Computersysteme does

LPC Computersysteme GmbH is a privately held German IT system house founded in 1988 by Markus Lehr and headquartered in Linkenheim-Hochstetten, Baden-Württemberg. The company delivers integrated IT services to small and medium-sized businesses across the German Mittelstand, bundling infrastructure, cloud, telephony, camera surveillance, web development, and professional services into a single-vendor stack positioned as an "interlocking system without island solutions." Core technical components include IP-based camera systems (Mobotix partnership), cloud-hosted email archiving and spam filtering (HornetSecurity), managed virtual servers and co-location, VMware-based virtualization, Sophos firewalls/UTM, NetApp and Synology storage solutions, Unify telephony, and custom-built hardware. Customer segments span manufacturing, healthcare, retail, municipal government, and nonprofit organizations, with named reference customers such as ECKERLE Technologies, Klumpp, Karcher AG, Medicut, and several municipal administrations (Stadtverwaltung Philippsburg, Stadtverwaltung Stutensee, Gemeindeverwaltung Linkenheim-Hochstetten).

The business model combines professional services (project planning, implementation, migration, helpdesk), recurring subscription cloud services (spam filtering, email archiving, backup, managed virtual servers), and hardware resale of custom-built PCs, servers, networking, and surveillance equipment. Pricing is quote-based with individually negotiated annual service contracts; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and regional, combining inbound inquiries via a single phone line and contact email with direct outreach by a small technical sales and project management team. Distribution is augmented through reseller relationships with major vendors (Microsoft, VMware, Sophos, Veeam, NetApp, HP, Fujitsu, Lenovo, Synology, Mobotix, Unify), and the company maintains a Gold tier with NetApp and Synology and Silver status with Sophos.

The firm is founder/family-controlled with approximately 19 listed team members across management, accounting, purchasing, sales, hardware/production, web development, and network technology/support. Effective January 2026, the management board was expanded to include two long-tenured employees (Dominik Fürniß and Cihad Gürkan) to formalize succession planning as founder Markus Lehr plans a gradual step-back. No external investors, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond Germany is indicated in the source material.
