The LUKAD Essence
Owner-manaÂged. Down to earth. International.
LUKAD is an owner-manaÂged comÂpaÂny based in the SauerÂland regiÂon of GerÂmaÂny. It comÂbiÂnes solid down-to-earthÂness with gloÂbal thinÂking and interÂnaÂtioÂnal sucÂcess. The oriÂgin of LUKAD HolÂding goes back to the founÂdaÂtiÂon of a scrap metal traÂde by Arnold MensÂhen in the 1950s and the purchaÂse of WalÂter StaufÂfenÂberg KG in the earÂly 1960s. At the beginÂning of the 70s Arnold MensÂhen founÂded the comÂpaÂny Georg MensÂhen KG.DisÂpoÂsal, hydrauÂlic accessÂories and plastic packaging
Through a high level of creaÂtiÂviÂty and entreÂpreÂneuÂriÂal skills, proÂducts and serÂvices have been deveÂloÂped in the field of wasÂte disÂpoÂsal, hydrauÂlic accessÂories and plastic packÂaÂging. Today, the Stauff and MensÂhen Groups opeÂraÂte interÂnaÂtioÂnalÂly, in some cases with their own subÂsiÂdiaÂries and proÂducÂtion faciÂliÂties, or are repreÂsenÂted by sales partners.Arnold MensÂhen sucÂcesÂsiÂveÂly hanÂded over the manageÂment of the various comÂpaÂnies to his two sons Knut and Lutz from the end of the 1980s. Knut MensÂhen took over the manageÂment of the Stauff Group in 1988 and the MensÂhen Group in 1995, and Lutz MensÂhen took over the scrap traÂde in 1992.
The 3 diviÂsiÂons were merÂged into LUKAD HolÂding in 2001, which faciÂliÂtaÂted the manageÂment of the various comÂpaÂnies and made a much cleaÂrer shareÂholÂder strucÂtuÂre posÂsiÂble.
In addiÂtiÂon, LUKAD HolÂding offers overÂarÂching serÂvices such as the entÂiÂre IT infraÂstÂrucÂtuÂre, comÂpliÂanÂce and interÂnaÂtioÂnal human resourÂces manageÂment, tax conÂsulÂting, conÂtrolÂling, audiÂtÂing and serÂvices for the annuÂal finanÂcial stateÂments for the 3 divisions.
FolÂlowing the deparÂtuÂre of Knut MensÂhen as ManaÂging DirecÂtor of LUKAD HolÂding in 2016, Lutz MensÂhen and Jörg Deutz took over the manageÂment of the holÂding company.
We, as the owner famiÂly, stand for comÂmitÂment, lonÂgeÂviÂty and thus for secuÂriÂty. By the way, the name LUKAD is comÂpoÂsed of the first names of the oriÂgiÂnal famiÂly shareÂholÂders:
L (Lutz) U (UrsuÂla) K (Knut) A (Arnold) D (DorÂle)
As a famiÂly, we are parÂtiÂcuÂlarÂly conÂcerÂned about supÂporÂting the peopÂle who make LUKAD and its affiÂliaÂted comÂpaÂnies so sucÂcessÂful. TheÂreÂfoÂre, speÂcial attenÂtiÂon is paid to the area of traiÂning and careÂer. The coopeÂraÂtiÂon with schools, colÂleÂges and uniÂverÂsiÂties also expresÂses this concern.
