Navigation Startseite / Company / History HISTORY Lichtgitter was founded in 1929 by Carl Martin and Allan Norman Kennedy as a company specialising in the production of gratings. The company is now run by the family in 3rd generation and is still 100% owned by the founding family Martin. Continuous performance and quality development as well as innovative manufacturing techniques, combined with prudent and market-driven corporate orientation have made Lichtgitter a leading manufacturer of pressure-locked gratings, forge-welded gratings and perforated metal planks with subsidiaries and joint ventures throughout the world. Today's portfolio also includes GRP gratings, chequer plate blanks, spiral staircases, stair treads, ladder rungs, galvanising as well as steel service. For all these products, we also offer a comprehensive service package. 1929 1945 1955 Prev Next 1929 Lichtgitter GmbH is founded in 1929 as a company specialising in the production of gratings. An English entrepreneur looks for a good production site for his business idea to develop floor coverings which are permeable to light and where dirt and grime can fall through. By chance, he is alerted to an empty production facility in Stadtlohn which belongs to the Martin family. The production initially focuses on the production of patented welding gratings with honeycomb mesh.
