LANO is a market leader in the production of broadloom Woven and Tufted carpet, carpet Tiles, machine-made Rugs and artificial Grass. These products are targeted either at the Residential or Contract market sector.
History
LANO Carpets was founded in 1970, as the result of the fusion of three family-owned companies. One of these companies, de Jaegher, had been founded in 1815, a period when Belgian textile manufacturers were supplying the Spanish and Austrian Courts with their linen fabrics.
Today, with a turnover of about € 100 million and active at the higher end of the Carpet market, LANO is one of the leading players in the textile floor-coverings market and employs 500 people.
LANO Carpets is an important manufacturer of broadloom Woven and Tufted carpet, carpet Tiles and machine-made Rugs.
LANO Sports, an independent business unit since 2003, produces synthetic grass for sports fields, as well as for landscaping both private and public spaces.
LANO Carpets has a reputation with its customers for being a creative and reliable partner that delivers products of excellent quality with a service to match.
The quality is achieved thanks to continuous and focused investments in its fully-integrated production environment. This vertical integration guarantees quality control at each stage of the production process and also ensures continuous process improvement.
As a result, LANO Carpets is an ISO 9001 certified company, ensuring that we continuously offer the best quality from production through to after-sales. Our products are exported to more than 70 countries worldwide. The EU market represents about 85 % of our volume. The balance is shipped primarily to destinations in Eastern Europe, USA, Japan and Korea.
Contract carpet
Visually it is often difficult to see the difference between residential and contract quality carpet. It is the technology and skills behind the product that provides the added value – meeting fire standards, including anti-soil treatments, extending durability, ensuring ease of maintenance, and providing advice from our team of specialists.
LANO has more than 30 years of experience in the Contract market and can show many references worldwide in the hospitality sector, on cruise ships, as well as in offices, theatre, libraries, shops, etc… Besides the esthetic qualities of the finished product, there are also more technical attributes that are equally important.
Axminster
LANO axminster carpets are primarily used at the higher end of the Contract market, often with custom-made designs. The woven carpet composition is 80 % wool and 20 % nylon. Wool offers the possibility to create beautiful colour combinations, whilst the use of nylon ensures product durability.
LANO offers a collection of 16 standard colours permanently on loom but for the Contract market we regularly develop custom designs and colours, in close cooperation with customers, as well as architects and interior designers.
Apart from our axminster programme, LANO also offers lots of other possibilities to create custom-made carpet that meets the customer’s specific requirements – ‘Suite’ concept, ‘Cameleon’ concept, ‘Colour’ concept, ‘Carve’ concept and wilton broadloom are some options. In other words, LANO Carpets has in-house expertise and technology to produce a fully custom-made carpet, to meet all the customer’s expectations.
