About Lorenz Behälterbau
Lorenz GmbH & Co Behälterbau und Apparatebau KG is a medium-sized manufacturing company in Landshut that has been producing vessels and apparatuses for utility systems for more than 50 years. The portfolio includes custom vessel and apparatus construction, tank construction, steel construction as well as storage products such as buffer tanks, combi storage tanks, drinking water tanks and cold water tanks. Production is carried out as single pieces, small series and prototypes using CNC-controlled machines for vessel sizes up to 100 m³. The range of services includes sawing, bending, plasma and flame cutting, pipe bending, plate rolling as well as welding processes such as MIG/MAG, TIG, manual electrode and submerged arc welding. Materials include steel, aluminium, titanium, nickel materials, black-white joints and CrNi steels such as 1.4301, 1.4571, 316L and 1.4404. An integrated engineering office offers prototype planning, development, welding engineering consulting and expert reports; mechanical finishing is carried out by partner companies. Many standards of modern vessel construction technology, including the use of inlet baffles as well as baffle and nozzle pipes, trace back to the company's development work.
