Lebo is a company with a lot of heritage.<br />
Founded in 1871 in the city centre of Bocholt<br />
as a carpenter's workshop, the LEBO GmbH<br />
now employs 210 employees in Bocholt and<br />
Krakow am See. "We now produce roughly<br />
290,000 doors and 230,000 frames per year<br />
which we distribute worldwide", explains<br />
Christian Wienand.<br />
Technology and design - always in motion<br />
Experts know that the door has become<br />
more and more a piece of furniture and not<br />
just a hole in the wall. The quality goods are<br />
produced in their own manufacturing facility<br />
in Bocholt and distributed to the trade from<br />
there. With DCT - Door Consumer Trade -<br />
the Lebo GmbH has also created a place for<br />
a factory outlet which offers doors to the private<br />
buyer.<br />
If you look at the sales trend of previous<br />
years, it is easy to spot that the curve has a<br />
clear upwards trend. "For this year we have<br />
planned a new drilling lane, which we have<br />
already looked at in the past few weeks",<br />
Maximilian Löhr announces. "We will build<br />
it between Christmas and the New Year and<br />
optimise the processes even further."<br />
Not only in the production is LEBO constantly<br />
evolving. The design sector constantly<br />
develops new models. "Whilst the surfaces<br />
had to be as smooth as possible in previous<br />
years, many customers now request visible<br />
knotholes and the so-called natural look," explains<br />
Christan Wienand. Many models from<br />
classic to unusual can be viewed at the large<br />
exhibition in Händelstraße - perfect to get an<br />
overview of the product range. This product<br />
range is constantly optimised, further developed<br />
and adapted to meet the requirements of<br />
the market. In the near future - so the Managing<br />
Director announces - more time will be<br />
devoted to work on a premium collection.<br />
(Krakow am See) GmbH. Managing Director<br />
Jens Altenhenne travelled especially to<br />
the event and brought frame components to<br />
demonstrate the different production steps.<br />
Unbeatable consistency<br />
Service and customer satisfaction are of the<br />
utmost importance for LEBO. The customer<br />
normally gets the or<strong>der</strong> confirmation within<br />
24 hours and offers are processed within 48<br />
hours. "In many companies it is still a common<br />
practice to go into company holidays in<br />
the summer months. We do not do that. For<br />
over five years, our production never stops so<br />
that we can always guarantee reliable delivery<br />
times", Christian Wienand explains.<br />
The Export-Offensive<br />
LEBO produces in Bocholt and Krakow am<br />
See. Yet, LEBO doors and frames can be found<br />
in many parts of the world. "Over the years,<br />
we have established representative offices in<br />
Russia, Romania and the United Kingdom<br />
and we also export to Canada, Turkey, Mongolia,<br />
Eastern Europe and the Middle East.<br />

At the start of the year, I travelled to Beijing<br />
in China and was able to establish important<br />
contacts there," enthuses Maximilian Löhr.<br />
"LEBO was admitted to the 'Window and<br />
Door City' - high quality show rooms - as an<br />
exclusive German interior door manufacturer.<br />
Major contractors and investors can view<br />
different models there. This is obviously very<br />
valuable for us." ◀<br />
LEBO (Krakow am See) GmbH<br />
Most recently, the LEBO family has grown:<br />
The frame manufacturer Weidhofer from<br />
Mecklenburg-West Pomerania in Krakow am<br />
See has been a part of the <strong>LB</strong> GmbH for a<br />
long time, but only now it carries the connection<br />
in the name after being renamed LEBO<br />
