Lekang Filter

What Lekang Filter does

Lekang Filter AS is a Norwegian B2B industrial filtration solutions distributor headquartered in Vestby, Norway. Founded in 1970 as Lekang Maskin, the company pivoted to filtration in 1975 as Norway's main Fleetguard importer and rebranded to Lekang Filter in the 1990s when the legacy machine dealership was discontinued. It operates Norway's largest dedicated filter warehouse, stocking approximately 75,000 filters across eight product categories — diesel motor/fuel, hydraulic/oil, process, dust, compressed air/vacuum, ventilation filters, chemical coolants, and condition monitoring — at a stated service level above 90%. The company is a subsidiary within the Lekang Group (under Swedish listed industrial technology group Indutrade AB), with a broader Nordic presence spanning Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.

The core technology stack centers on the proprietary LFS (Lekang Filter System) customer portal and webshop, which combines a filter cross-reference database, account-specific pricing, ordering history, and inventory look-up for both enterprise customers and the nationwide dealer network. Catalog depth is supplemented by supplier partnerships with Fleetguard, Walker Filtration, RMF/Des-Case, Separ, Global Filter, Filtration Group, Interfil, and (post-acquisition) Safematic, providing rights to distribute branded OEM and specialty filtration consumables and equipment into the Norwegian market.

Lekang Filter earns revenue through sale of filtration consumables and equipment into construction, marine, aquaculture, oil & gas, and industrial manufacturing end-markets, monetized via three channels: direct enterprise sales, a nationwide dealer network, and the LFS e-commerce portal. The acquisition of Safematic A/S (November 2025) and the dual ISO 9001/14001 certifications (October 2024 / January 2025) indicate a deliberate move up-market into larger enterprise and oil & gas procurement frameworks, while the May 2024 relocation to a ~2,000 sqm Vestby warehouse materially expanded inventory and fulfillment capacity. Pricing mechanics are not publicly disclosed but reflect standard industrial-distribution unit economics with account-tiered terms mediated through the LFS portal.

Core offering

Lekang Filter distributes a comprehensive portfolio of industrial filtration products across diesel motor/fuel, hydraulic/oil, process, dust, compressed air/vacuum, and ventilation categories, alongside coolant chemicals and condition-monitoring equipment, sourced from international brands such as Fleetguard, Filtration Group, Global Filter, Separ, RMF/Des-Case, Walker Filtration, and Interfil. Orders are placed through the proprietary LFS (Lekang Filter System) customer portal and a nationwide dealer network, drawing on Norway's largest filter warehouse with a service level above 90 percent.

Product overview

Lekang Filter operates Norway's largest filter warehouse and delivers a comprehensive filtration portfolio organized across eight core product categories: (1) Dieselmotor/Brennstoff (diesel motor and fuel) filters, (2) Hydraulikk/Olje (hydraulic and oil) filters, (3) Prosess (process) filters, (4) Støv (dust) filters, (5) Trykkluft/Vakuum (compressed air and vacuum) filters, (6) Ventilasjon (HVAC ventilation) filters, (7) Kjemikalier (coolant chemicals), and (8) Tilstandsovervåking (condition monitoring). The portfolio is anchored by the proprietary LFS (Lekang Filter System) customer portal and webshop — a web-based platform enabling filter search, cross-references, machine park management, stock status, pricing, and 24/7 ordering. Lekang Filter represents internationally recognized filter brands including Fleetguard, Filtration Group, Global Filter, Separ, RMF/Des-Case, Walker Filtration, and Interfil, alongside its own Lekang-branded products. Following the November 2025 acquisition of Safematic A/S, the Safematic brand (ventilation filters and dust filter bags) was added, now distributed under the merged Filterteknik A/S entity in Denmark.
