German Business Awards 2023

Jul22493 13. Jul22493 LMC Caravan GmbH & Co. KG prides itself on being the sort of honest and down-toEarth brand that customers can rely on. Boasting more than 65 years of experience in the caravanning business, the company’s team of experts serve to develop modern and future-proof caravans, camper vans, and motorhomes. An award-winning team of design engineers operate using cutting-edge furniture with a lightweight design across entrylevel, couple, and family layout versions of their products, and as a lifelong business partner, the company possesses an unbridled commitment to providing its clients a high-quality home away from home. We speak with Bodo Diller to learn more about the company’s array of quality offerings and how it sustains excellence in the market. LMC Caravan GmbH & Co. KG (LMC) partners well thoughtout interior design methods with excellent functionality, thus building vacation companions that are reliable and possess more than just a hint of luxury. Across its array of models, a clear structure is created, and transparent information provided, making it as easy as possible for customers to choose and tailor their requirements to a caravan or motorhome. In 2018, LMC proudly opened a stateof-the-art facility, more than doubling its production capacity. What followed was a major restructuring of workflows, with investments carried out in the form of a water jet cutting machine, a roof production line, an edging centre, and hail proof roofs, streamlining the experience and optimising production. Through these methods, LMC has been able to successfully expand its portfolio, and cement itself as an industry frontrunner in its sector. German industry is synonymous with quality, and to this end, the company is determined to deliver value engineering. As an industrial craft company, the art of engineering has been fixed to the wider brand values which the business encapsulates, seeing its strengths in the precision and quality standards it adheres to daily. Based in the Münsterland region of the country, LMC proudly carries the area’s famous friendly and forthcoming demeanour, combining this with the solid workmanship and expertise that the region, and country more widely, is renowned for. What separates LMC from its competitors in a crowded marketplace is its many years of experience, know-how, and passion for projects. Brimming with innovative, revolutionary ideas and equally clever solutions; few people expect a small town in the region to be the home of a modern, recreational vehicle production plant that spans more than 200,000 square miles. With a 12-year water ingress warranty also coming as standard, LMC’s offerings are fit for beginners through to experienced camper van vacationers. Following on from the Covid-19 pandemic, the sector has experienced a considerable increase in trade, making it more important now than ever before for LMC to cement its position at the forefront. Concurrently, challenges have arisen which serve to hinder the company’s progress, such as supply bottlenecks and an unavailability of chassis. Undeterred, Bodo explains, “it remains exciting to observe how the market will continue to develop, we will continue to focus on our target group and will respond to the agile market situation.” As a wholly owned subsidiary of Thor Industries, the team is motivated in the support for its vision, pulling together to work hand-in-hand and craft products that inspire. With individual training opportunities, a flexi-time model, and home working available for those in the administrative side of the business, an excellent work-life balance is promoted to employees. There is also a keen sense of support for the development of junior staff, offering training that allows them to grow personally and professionally, and the team is always looking for new talent to strengthen its team in the future. Looking ahead to this future, LMC’s engineers and designers are tirelessly working to continue to optimise the company’s offerings, while seeking new methods to sustainably expand its product line. For example, the Cruiser series motorhome is soon to be relaunched to ensure that the model is up to date with changing market requirements, while its Sassino caravans will have experienced a facelift, and its Ford camper vans will have unveiled a new pop-up roof variant. Fundamentally, LMC Caravan GmbH & Co. KG has established itself as a beacon of excellence in the caravan and motor home industry, constantly evolving to satisfy consumer demand, and thus is more than deserving of this award. Bodo tells us, “This is a great honour for us and increases our motivation to give our best for our customers and employees every day”. Company: LMC Caravan GmbH & Co.
