The Behm family would finally take over the whole company in 1995. 1980 Over time, LK transformed from a trader of other companies’ products into a developer and producer of its own, more technically advanced, products and solutions. 1990 LK began manufacturing valves, filters, and actuators for the marine industry. 2000 LK started to produce and sell high-quality PE-Xa pipes at its production facility. 2007 To meet increasing demand, LK began to prefabricate its own products and systems. 2010 The LK Group started to invest in small- and medium-sized companies.
