LiSEC Austria GmbH has acquired LamiPress for an undisclosed amount, integrating LamiPress's specialized lamination technology into its portfolio. LamiPress is known for its flexible autoclave system, which utilizes a globally patented overpressure process to produce high-quality laminated safety glass (VSG) products from PVB and SentryGlas. The system is characterized by certified quality, absolute process reliability, and significantly reduced energy consumption through contact heat.
LamiPress’s technology offers a cost-efficient, user-friendly, and maintenance-free solution for glass processors. It enables the production of a wide range of laminated glass products, from ESG-based VSG to complex multi-layer laminates and switchable glass. The system is designed for flexibility, allowing new entrants to establish lamination capabilities with minimal investment risk, or for existing operations to expand capacity by up to 30% at the base glass line. Its modular design also allows for future throughput increases.
This acquisition is strategically significant for LiSEC Austria GmbH, a company active in the glass processing industry. LamiPress’s innovative approach to lamination, which avoids the need for error-prone vacuum bags and offers faster cycle times for profitable special and fixed-size laminates, complements LiSEC’s existing machinery and solutions. The integration of LamiPress’s resource-efficient technology, which operates without expensive consumables, is expected to enhance LiSEC’s offerings in the growing market for high-quality laminated glass.
The synergy between LiSEC’s broader industry presence and LamiPress’s specialized lamination expertise is anticipated to provide customers with more comprehensive and advanced solutions. From laboratory scale to fully automated jumbo lines, the combined entity aims to deliver tailored LamiPress configurations, building on LamiPress’s existing cooperation with partners like Hegla for conveying technology. This move positions LiSEC to offer an even more robust and innovative suite of products for the next generation of lamination technology.
