Digitalisisation

In order to offer sustainable and functional products with the best material and manufacturing quality, Lamy produces its products - with a few exceptions - entirely in Heidelberg. The company invests heavily in local production, particularly in technological innovation projects and the digitalisation of all production areas. The use of robotics and digital networking through production control systems create transparency and continuously increase the efficiency of production processes. State-of-the-art measuring systems guarantee the quality of the high-quality designer writing instruments from Heidelberg.

Nevertheless, craftsmanship remains a crucial part of production at Lamy. This is where the hand and eye come into play, where experience and literal dexterity are required: in fine and detailed work such as grinding or polishing surfaces, in the assembly of sensitive and small components and in quality control. ‘There is a simple principle,’ explains Utsch. ‘Components that appeal closely and directly to our senses can only be assessed for quality by a human being.’

Lamy is working with renowned technology partners to further expand its range of digital and hybrid writing instruments. ‘We are continuously working on offering and updating compatible tools for the most important operating and digital writing systems,’ reports Lamy Managing Director Peter Utsch.

Lamy is also focussing on new product concepts and innovations outside its core business. Lamy sees its products as ‘thinking tools’. By helping people to express their thoughts, develop ideas and find solutions, they contribute to better understanding and shaping the world.
