Multinational company Lang Laser inaugurates its first factory outside Germany in Barcelona

The German multinational Lang Laser has inaugurated its first factory outside Germany in Sant Salvador de Guardiola (Barcelona). The company, which designs and manufactures laser machinery for the packaging sector, has invested two million euros in launching a new production plant. Once fully operational in 2027, the company expects to create around thirty jobs in addition to the 10 positions generated initially.

To establish its first factory outside Germany, Lang Laser has received support from Catalonia Trade & Investment, the business competitiveness agency of the Ministry for Business and Labour. The company has also received financing from the Catalan Finance Institute (ICF) to support the operation.

“With the new plant in Catalonia, our goal is to double the group’s global production, but also to do so by incorporating new high-quality suppliers like those found in the Bages region”

Lang Laser designs and produces industrial machinery with laser technology focused on modifying flexible plastic, mainly for the food packaging sector. Among other uses, the company’s machines are responsible for making incisions for easy opening of packaging or perforations that help keep products fresh.

Jaume Martínez, General Manager of Lang Laser Iberia, stated, "With the new plant in Catalonia, our goal is to double the group’s global production, but also to do so by incorporating new high-quality suppliers like those found in the Bages region."

The company is one of the leading providers of laser technology solutions for finishing flexible plastic. Its main processing applications include scoring, perforating, cutting, and coding a wide variety of films, laminates, and papers. In this regard, Lang Laser’s modular systems are integrated into both existing and new production lines and are used primarily in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The opening of this factory—the company’s first outside Germany—will allow it to relocate part of its production to Catalonia, where it established a subsidiary in 2021. Since then, Lang Laser Iberia has focused primarily on commercial operations, technical service, and machinery assembly. With the new plant, Lang Laser strengthens its presence in Catalonia with a production facility covering 1,000 square meters, 600 of which are allocated to manufacturing and 400 to offices.

Lang Laser is a family-owned company founded in 1992 in Germany. Over more than 30 years of operations, it has sold more than 1,000 laser machines in around seventy countries.
