Lacom Machinefabriek B.V.

What Lacom Machinefabriek B.V. does

Lacom Machinefabriek B.V. is a Dutch privately held metal specialist founded in 1989 and headquartered in Budel, Netherlands, with 37 employees. It targets the 'high mix & low volume' niche of industrial manufacturing, producing complex, small-series mechanical parts in the 15–800 kg weight range for B2B customers across nine named vertical segments: amusement, energy, hydraulics, general industry, crane building, medical, recycling, transport, and food. Operations are conducted entirely in-house, including engineering, machining, welding, assembly, and logistics.

The company's core technology stack centers on highly automated CNC metalworking — CNC turning, 5-axis CNC milling with on-machine 3D measurement, and multi-axis multitasking machining centers programmed to run fully unmanned day or night — supplemented by state-of-the-art robot welding cells with seam tracking and CAM-driven setup mounted on tracks, plus an extensive 3D measurement room. Beyond contract machining, Lacom produces custom hydraulic cylinders under the LC Hydraulics brand (serving food, transport, crane building, and amusement sectors) and, since 2020, the complete Kinetic product program of portable car loading cranes through its wholly-owned subsidiary Lacom Cranes & Supplies B.V.

Lacom generates revenue through quote-based, project-driven B2B contracts covering custom mechanical parts, weld assemblies, hydraulic cylinders, and value-added services including Design for Manufacturing engineering support and integrated logistics (Make to Order, Make to Stock, Vendor Managed Inventory, just-in-time delivery, and Quick Response Manufacturing) using its own transport vehicles. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via a structured 'Offerte aanvragen' (request a quote) form, direct phone, and email — with no public pricing and no distribution or reseller network. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or parent entity.
