Josef Lentner GmbH

Josef Lentner GmbH, commonly known as Lentner, is a German manufacturer of firefighting vehicles headquartered in Hohenlinden in the Ebersberg district of Upper Bavaria. The company is part of the Hausmann Holding GmbH. It was founded around the 1940s and began producing disaster-protection vehicles in the 1980s. Since 2007 it has operated from its Hohenlinden production site on a site of approximately 15,000 square metres. Annual revenue was 10.5 million euros in 2008 and rose to nearly 14 million euros in 2009, the same year that production hall 2 was commissioned. Production in hall 3 started in 2014. Lentner positions itself as a manufacturer without a standard series: every vehicle is individually designed and built to customer requirements, rather than being a variation of a mass-produced line. Its product range includes medium firefighting vehicles (MLF), firefighting group vehicles ((H) LF 10, (H) LF 20), disaster-protection vehicles (LF-KatS), tank firefighting vehicles (TLF 4000), technical assistance vehicles (RW, GW-G), logistics equipment vehicles (GW-L1, GW-L2) and special-purpose vehicles. The company describes itself as a specialist for individual solutions to particularly unusual and demanding tasks. In 2009 Lentner won a contract to build seventy vehicles of the new firefighting group vehicle for disaster protection, with an option for 120 more. Its customers include municipalities and companies in Germany and Austria, as well as Munich Airport and clients in the Middle East and East Asia. In 2009 the company received the Bavarian Founders' Prize (Bayerischer Gründerpreis).
