What LAGUN does
LAGUN (Lagun Machinery, S.L.U.) is a Spanish machine tool manufacturer headquartered in Legutiano, Álava (Basque Country), founded in 1928 and operating as a subsidiary of MAHER Holding. The company designs and builds CNC machining centers, with a current portfolio spanning 3-axis vertical machining centers and 5-axis simultaneous machining platforms, including the evZ630 introduced in 2023. In late 2023 LAGUN also brought to market a hybrid manufacturing solution that integrates MELTIO wire-laser additive metal deposition with its subtractive CNC platform, enabling combined additive and subtractive processing on a single machine.
The company serves industrial customers — primarily in aerospace, automotive, and general metalworking subcontracting — through a distributor-led go-to-market model. Exclusive or semi-exclusive channel partners include JMT in the DACH region (which invested €2.5M in a new Oberhausen facility in 2019 and reports a 1,000+ installed LAGUN machine base in Germany) and ROMAK Machine Tools for Andalusia (agreement signed July 2024). The business model is high-capital-equipment sale plus recurring aftermarket revenue: machine ASPs are in the low-six to seven-figure EUR range, with multi-decade service lifecycles and an active spare-parts commitment to machines delivered since the 1970s, generating a long-tail annuity stream alongside new-unit sales.
LAGUN has 11-50 employees and is part of MAHER Holding. Recent strategic activity — concentrated in 2023-2024 — has emphasized product-line expansion into 5-axis and hybrid additive-subtractive machining and distributor network densification in Spain and Germany. Direct financial metrics (revenue, margin, order book) are not publicly disclosed, and AI/ML capability is not evidenced; the company's differentiation rests on its century-long manufacturing heritage, specialized technical staff, and installed-base service infrastructure.
