Lerinc Werkzeugmaschinen & Automation

What Lerinc Werkzeugmaschinen & Automation does

Lerinc Werkzeugmaschinen & Automation GmbH (Lerinc GmbH), headquartered in Heiligenhaus, Germany, is a privately held CNC machine tool distributor and automation integrator founded in 1994, now operating as a partly-owned subsidiary of Taiwan's Quaser Group following a 2024 strategic equity investment. The company sells, services, and integrates CNC turning, milling, and multi-axis machining centers sourced from premium Taiwanese and Japanese OEMs — including Quaser, Takisawa, Niigata, Goodway, WELE, Mitsui Seiki, and JTEKT — alongside its own-branded automation products: the URC.35 universal robot cell, FPA flexible pallet automation, FPP pallet pool, Matrix-Magazin FTS 2.0 tool magazine, and the proprietary PRO.CAM EMS production-management software.

Lerinc's commercial model combines one-time capital-equipment sales (entry-level machines from €99,999, turnkey projects quoted individually), multi-year maintenance contracts (5-year terms with bundled spare-parts discounts), recurring spare-parts revenue, software licensing for PRO.CAM EMS, and CNC training programs. Distribution is direct via field sales engineers and inside-sales teams across Germany, with a regional presence in Remshalden and a branch in Poznań, Poland; after-sales service is delivered through 13 technician hubs across Germany and a Croatian production facility for automation components.

The company primarily serves the German Mittelstand (mid-sized manufacturers, typically 50–500 employees) facing skilled-labor shortages, offering turnkey unmanned machining solutions that integrate machine, automation, and software into 24h production cells; secondary segments include enterprise manufacturers in automotive and aerospace, and DACH/Poland buyers seeking Asian CNC brands with local German-speaking support. Value proposition rests on multi-brand portfolio access, proprietary PRO.CAM EMS software, dense regional service coverage, and 30+ years of accumulated Mittelstand relationships.
