Facts about Landia

Landia is a family company which was founded in 1933.

The company has over 75 years of experience in manufacturing pumps to industry and agriculture. Landia has specialized mainly in development, production and marketing of mixers and pumps for the treatment of difficult mediums.

In 1950 the company developed a pump with a special knife system to pump difficult mediums with a high dry matter content. This pump became, because of its functions and very high quality, a large success and formed the basis of Landias further development of products and know-how in this area. Several hundreds of this type of pump are sold every year in Denmark and abroad.

In the seventies the first submersible motor and mixer was produced. At the same time Landia started to build up an export market in Europe.

In 1980 the water environment plan was introduced in Denmark. This followed a large need for the use of mixers in connection with biological nutrient removal in wastewater. Together with leading Danish consultants Landia developed a complete production program in this area. At the same time the company acquired an extensive know-how from their experience with a large number of reference plants in Denmark. Landia was, therefore, one of the first companies in the world with a special knowledge concerning mixing of activated sludge.

In 1990 Landia started to develop its traditional slurry pumps even further. A new chopper pump with a unique knife system was developed, so that today, Landia can supply a complete range of dry installed, wet well and submersible pumps for chopping and pumping of difficult mediums. The pumps are successfully applied in a large number of industries such as abattoirs, fish, vegetable and other food processing industries as well as within the paper industry.

Landias aim has always been high quality and good quality control, thus in 1994 the company was certified under ISO 9001.

The knowledge acquired with a high quality product on the domestic market gave Landia a head start on the export markets resulting in considerable growth. Consequently, in 1993 and again in 1998, Landia was placed amongst the 50 fastest growing companies in Denmark.

Today the export market makes up approx. 60% of Landias total business and Landia has more than 30 distributors worldwide in 26 countries, as well as their own subsidiaries in England, the USA and Germany. The main markets are Western Europe and the USA.
