Ledl and Crhák. Two foundrymen—friends who built their first furnaces for enjoyment and for their friends. Today, they own a company employing 230 people that ships furnaces and dryers all around the world and ships refractory castable shapes all around Europe.
In our 25 years on the market, we have learned what you, our customers, want and need. We always strive to meet you halfway, which is why LAC has come to specialize in custom production, which now forms over 60% of our work. With our products, we help you to increase your production capacity, save on energy costs, reduce boiler emissions, and maintain your equipment in the best condition possible for the longest time possible. And indeed, our maintenance services and expert consulting are something that Mr. Ledl and Mr. Crhák themselves appreciate. You see, they want to be sure that we supply high-quality products that will serve you long and well. They want to always be proud of how we do our work.
