History

75 years and 3 generations: Our history

How it all began
In 1948 Johann Lessmann founded a small brush factory in Oettingen. A large order for over 100,000 hand brushes – all of which were manufactured manually at the time – convinced his son Edgar to join the company shortly afterwards.

We understand ecological responsibility to mean operational environmental protection and a contribution to climate protection. The aim was therefore to have the company certified according to ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) in order to clearly define and pursue reduction targets for emissions and raw material consumption, among other things. Lessmann has been certified according to this standard since May 2022 and thus records consumption in order to make future reduction targets measurable. We have also recently become part of the “Environment + Climate Pact Bavaria”. By participating, we are committed to taking environmental protection measures that go far beyond the legal requirements. We have been using several photovoltaic systems to generate electricity on all roof areas of our company since 2003. Through constant expansion, we now achieve a total output of 588 kWp. With an annual consumption of around 1,200 kWh, we generate almost 50% of our electricity ourselves. We are even better when it comes to heating: it is fueled 100% by leftovers from the production of our wooden handles.

Qualität

First Class ist unser Standard

Wir fokussieren uns auf Produkte von höchster Qualität und legen großen Wert auf unseren Service und die Beratung, damit Sie leichter arbeiten können.

Die effiziente und qualitätsorientierte Herstellung unserer Bürsten erfordert den Einsatz neuester Maschinen und Fertigungsanlagen, die höchsten Produktanforderungen gerecht werden. Wir haben unseren eigenen Maschinenbau und investieren in beste Maschinentechnologie der jüngsten Generation. Dazu sind wir stolz auf unsere eigene Forschungs- und Entwicklungs-, sowie Konstruktionsabteilung im Haus, die eine gleichbleibend hohe Qualität der Bürsten gewährleisten und stetig verbessern.

Leistungsfähige Vollautomaten in der Fertigung zählen ebenso zu unserem modernen technischen Equipment wie ein anspruchsvolles Prüfzentrum für Qualitäts und Sicherheitstests. Einzigartig ist unsere Fertigungstiefe: Wir verfügen über eine eigene Drahtwellung und Drahtschneiderei. Blechteile werden auf selbst konstruierten Werkzeugen bei uns hergestellt, ebenso die Holzkörper unserer Bürsten. Unser Lager mit über 12 000 Stellplätzen sowie optimale logistische Lösungen ermöglichen einen schnellen Produktionsfluss und kurze Lieferzeiten.

Fairness

Fair Play

Wir sind ein echtes Team und ziehen alle an einem Strang. Dieses Miteinander funktioniert nur bei gegenseitiger Wertschätzung, Ehrlichkeit und Anerkennung – also wenn wir respektvoll miteinander umgehen. Wir schätzen offene Kommunikation, die Grundlage für ein faires Miteinander ist.

Diese Fairness wird bei uns nicht nur innerhalb des Teams gegenüber unseren Kolleginnen und Kollegen oder Vorgesetzten gelebt. Alle unsere Partner wie Kunden und Lieferanten, Bewerber oder andere, die Interesse an unserem Unternehmen und unseren Produkten zeigen, erhalten diese Wertschätzung. Denn nur so schaffen wir es, gemeinsam das Beste zu erreichen.

Deshalb ist Fairness eine große Stärke unseres familiengeführten Unternehmens.

Zuverlässigkeit

Gesagt. Getan.

Alle unsere Kolleginnen und Kollegen oder Geschäftspartner können sich auf uns verlassen. Wir tun das, was wir ankündigen und wir kündigen nur das an, was wir tun können.

Zuverlässigkeit heißt für uns, sowohl Serienartikel zu marktgerechten Preisen als auch Sonderanfertigungen für Industriekunden zu produzieren – und zwar in immer gleicher Premium-Qualität und schnellster Verfügbarkeit.

Es bedeutet für uns auch, vorbereitet zu sein auf das, was kommt. Unsere Kunden können darauf vertrauen, dass wir zuverlässig liefern. Unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter haben bei uns einen zukunftssicheren Arbeitsplatz.

Wir halten uns in jeder Hinsicht an unsere Vereinbarungen und erarbeiten uns dadurch Vertrauen, das für unsere Arbeit so wichtig ist.

Nachhaltigkeit

Soziales

Hierbei stehen Maßnahmen wie das Betriebliche Gesundheitsmanagement im Vordergrund, die nachhaltig die Gesundheit unserer Mitarbeiter fördern. Die Bereitstellung von kostenlosem Obst, das Angebot von Gesundheitskursen, Fahrradleasing oder ergonomische Arbeitsplätze sind Standard. Interne und externe Schulungen in verschiedensten Bereichen geben unseren Mitarbeitern Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten.

Ökonomie

Oberstes ökonomisches Ziel uns ist es, einen auf Dauer angelegten wirtschaftlichen Unternehmenserfolg zu garantieren. Das Unternehmen soll sich die Unabhängigkeit von Kunden, Lieferanten und anderen bewahren sowie ausreichend Finanzkraft für Investitionen und Wachstum haben.

Ökologie

An betrieblichem Umweltschutz sowie Klimaschutz arbeiten wir täglich. Strom aus eigenen Photovoltaik-Anlagen oder eine CO2-neutrale Heizung sind längst integriert, ebenso unzählige weitere Bausteine in dem Bereich Umweltschutz. Seit dem Jahr 2022 sind wir nach ISO 14 001 im Bereich Umweltmanagement zertifiziert. Damit verpflichten wir uns als Unternehmen, Emissionen oder Rohstoffverbräuche klar zu definieren, zu verfolgen und zu reduzieren.

Unabhängigkeit

Eigenständig, mittelständisch, unabhängig 

Als eigenständiges, inhabergeführtes Unternehmen haben wir große Freiheiten in vielen Entscheidungen. Wir können uns Unabhängigkeiten bewahren, die Teil unseres Erfolgs sind.

Um nur einige zu nennen: Wir produzieren viele Vormaterialen selbst im Haus, haben ein breites Produktsortiment, eine große Anzahl an Kunden und liefern in viele Branchen – damit machen wir uns unabhängig von einzelnen Industriezweigen und deren konjunkturellen Schwankungen. Wir entwickeln ständig neue Produkte, suchen nach neuen Kunden und erschließen neue Märkte. Das Know-How im Haus ist über mehrere Ebenen verteilt, so dass viele Mitarbeiter über viele Details Bescheid wissen.

Unsere einzige Konstante ist die Veränderung. Veränderung ist unser Antrieb und verleiht uns Unabhängigkeit, die wir uns für die Zukunft bewahren möchten.

Denn Unabhängigkeit bedeutet für uns Sicherheit im Unternehmensfortbestand für die nächsten Generationen.

Quality

First-class is our standard

We focus on products of the highest quality and strive for excellence in service and advice to make your work as easy as possible.

The efficient and quality-oriented manufacture of our brushes requires use of the latest machinery and production facilities, which are capable of meeting the highest product requirements. We have our own mechanical engineering department and invest in the latest generation of the best machine technology. We are also proud of our in-house research and development and design departments, which guarantee and continuously improve on the consistently high quality of our brushes.

Our modern technical facilities include powerful fully automated production machines and a sophisticated test centre for quality and safety testing. Our vertical integration is unique: We have our own wire crimping and wire cutting facilities. We use tools designed by us to manufacture sheet metal parts and the wooden bodies of our brushes. With over 12,000 storage spaces and optimal logistics solutions, our warehouse supports rapid production flows and short delivery times.

Fairness

Fair play

We’re a real team and all pull together. This kind of collaboration only works when accompanied by mutual appreciation, honesty and recognition. In other words, when we treat each other with respect. We value open communication, which is the basis of fair co-operation.

And we put this kind of fairness into practice not only on our team, towards colleagues and supervisors. We extend the same appreciation to all our partners, including customers, suppliers, job applicants, and any others interested in our company and our products. This approach is the only way we can achieve the best together.

That’s why fairness is one of the greatest strengths of our family-run company.

Reliability

True to our word.

All our colleagues and business partners can fully rely on us. We do what we promise, and promise only what we can do.

Reliability for us means manufacturing both standard products at fair market prices and custom-made items for industrial customers – while maintaining the same premium quality and fast availability.

It also means being prepared for what is to come. Our customers can trust us to deliver reliably. Our employees have secure jobs in our company.

We honour our agreements in every respect, earning the trust that is so important for our work.

Sustainability

Social responsibility

The focus here is on measures, such as occupational health management, to promote the long-term health of our staff. Free fruit and health classes, our bicycle leasing programme, and ergonomic workstations are all part of our standard offering. Internal and external training courses in a wide range of areas give our employees opportunities for personal development.

Economy

Our primary economic goal is to guarantee the long-term economic success of the company. We want our company to retain its independence from customers, suppliers and others, and have sufficient financial strength for investment and growth.

Ecology

We work every day to promote corporate environmental and climate protection. Electric power from our own photovoltaic systems or CO2-neutral heating systems have long been established, as have countless other components for environmental protection. We have been certified to ISO 14 001 in environmental management since 2022. This demonstrates our commitment as a company to clearly identifying, tracking and reducing emissions and raw material consumption.

Independence

Independent, medium-sized, autonomous 

As an independent, owner-managed company, we have a great deal of freedom in many decisions we take. And we can maintain these freedoms, which are part of our success.

To name just a few: We produce many primary materials in-house, have a wide range of products, a large number of customers and supply many sectors, making us independent of individual branches of industry and their economic fluctuations. We constantly develop new products, search for new customers and tap into new markets. Our in-house expertise is spread across several levels, meaning that many employees are aware of many of the details.

Our only constant is change. Change is what motivates us and gives us the independence that we aim to uphold into the future.

Because to us, independence means safeguarding our company’s continued success for future generations.
