(Manalapan, N.J., U.S. and Lambrechten), a family-owned Austrian engineering company, has built a global reputation for delivering high-performance press systems and turnkey automation solutions tailored for demanding composite applications in the automotive and aerospace sectors.
With more than 100 years of mechanical engineering heritage, Langzauner combines craftsmanship with innovation, offering fully customized solutions for wet compression molding, SMC, LFI, LWRT, BMC, D-LFT and even high-pressure processes. Each system is engineered and manufactured almost entirely in-house, ensuring the highest level of integration, quality control and adaptability.
For the automotive industry, Langzauner presses are widely used in the production of underbody protection parts, bumpers, acoustic insulation components and structural reinforcements, especially for electric vehicles. Systems are designed with modular automation, covering material feeding, preheating (such as infrared, convection or contact), intelligent press control, robotic handling, cooling, quality inspection and stacking — all from a single source.

In aerospace, the demand for lightweight, high-performance structures aligns with Langzauner’s DNA. The company delivers aerospace-qualified press systems with precise temperature and pressure control, process monitoring and advanced data logging, supporting certifications and traceability. From thermoset to thermoplastic composites, Langzauner’s solutions are tailored for applications such as interior panels, brackets, insulation structures and nacelle components.
According to Langzauner, what sets it apart is its engineering-driven philosophy: no standard catalogs, no copy-paste solutions. Each project is developed in close cooperation with customers — from early design and simulation through to commissioning and long-term support.
Langzauner systems are trusted by Tier 1 suppliers across Europe, North America and Asia. The company has also established a U.S. sales and service office, ensuring fast response times and local support for its growing North American customer base.
