G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH, located in Fellbach near Stuttgart, has been developing and producing professional components and systems for climate and environment measurement for more than 135 years.

Tradition - Quality - Precision

The precision workmanship of highly skilled specialists has enabled the LUFFT label to be known and the products to be purchased worldwide. Intelligent meteorological sensors form the basis of highly available measuring networks along roads, rail and at airports all over the world. Meteorological services and environmental bodies appreciate the precise and long lasting Lufft quality as do building equipment manufacturers and energy suppliers as well.

Quality and precision are the first priority for Lufft. With the certified quality management system in accordance with the requirements of the international known standard ISO 9001, which the company follows since 1995, Lufft not only prove to the outside world that quality orientation in every process determines how you think and act.

Lufft underlines its claims to high quality by operating its own calibrating laboratory

In January 2016 Lufft agreed to be acquired by OTT Hydromet, located in Kempten, Germany. We are proud to be part of a group of six companies (OTT, Hydrolab, ADCON Telemetry, Sutron, Lufft and Kipp & Zonen), that serves customers with high quality and reliable instruments focused on environmental monitoring solutions for natural resource and oceanographic applications.

Designed, developed and made in Germany:

We develop and manufacture exclusively in Germany. This is the only location offering optimum framework conditions and the qualified skilled personnel which ensure that you receive firstclass sensors and instruments. Development, manufacture, warehouse and dispatch are all under the same roof. This enables us to respond quickly and flexibly to possible changes during order processing.

Quality standards:

For over 135 years, the name LUFFT has stood for outstanding, innovative, high-quality products. Our high quality standards are part of the corporate culture and are supported by several pillars.

Planning:

We listen to our customers and analyze their behavior during data collection and evaluation. With the knowledge of what our customers really need, we develop systems and solutions that advance progress.

Development:

The latest research findings, innovative technologies and the utmost diligence are the basis for design and development. Each individual development step is tested before the finished product is subjected to a thorough quality assurance procedure. Final product tests in conjunction with customers are the last important touchstone before market launch.

Production:

Optimized standard processes ensure smooth production. After the production cycle, each measuring instrument is individually inspected, tested and, if necessary, calibrated. A FAT (Factory Acceptance Test certificate) confirms that the product has left our factory in perfect condition. This is supplied with each device.

Consulting:

Sales engineers with specific expertise in the field of hydrology, meteorology or data technology are reliable partners. They advise our customers and work with them to develop individual solutions.

Service:

At the customer`s request, experienced service staff accompany all installation steps - from mounting sensors through configuration to cabling the individual components. The final functional test ensures fault-free operation from the start.

ISO 9001:2015:

We are ISO 9001:2015 certified. The ISO certification is audited every year. The certification proofs that Lufft successfully operates and maintains a quality management system in accordance with the guidelines of ISO 9001:2015.

The certificate confirms that our products and services meet our customers’ quality standards as well as statutory and regulatory requirements. Naturally, we only work with ISO-certified suppliers.

Kaizen – striving for continuous improvement:

We strive to constantly improve the existing status of our standards, such as safety, quality and supply capability. Just as with our products, we regularly scrutinize the processes in the company and analyze these for potential improvements. Here, managers and employees work closely together. They identify the potential for improvements, agree on goals, formulate action plans and initiate the necessary measures. The sub-goals achieved are constantly reviewed in order to take countermeasures in good time if the need arises. In this way, we optimize not only internal processes, but also product and service quality - and thus the satisfaction of employees and customers.
