Lederer GmbH

Company

The name "Lederer" stands for more than 50 years of experience with fasteners made of stainless steel, special parts and special materials and C-parts management. This development is the expression of our customer-oriented corporate philosophy – products or services are not the focal point of everything we do; you, the customer, are the focal point. We are not satisfied until you are!

Shaping the future
 
The readiness to adapt the products and services to customer requirements is reflected not only in the corporate development of Lederer GmbH, but also in the products and services themselves: Founded in 1970 by Rainer Lederer and Hans Lipinski in Wuppertal, the company (then called Lederer & Lipinski) began with four employees in the still-young market for stainless steel fasteners and then expanded continuously. Just five years later the company had to move to larger premises, taking its expanded 16-strong team to Ennepetal.

After another 13 years, the company again found itself needing more space; in the same year its 30 employees were able to move into the newly built administration and warehousing complex. After a warehouse extension in 1995, in 2007 a modern high-bay warehouse has put into operation; this has almost doubled company’s warehousing capacity. More than 120 committed employees work there today.

The workforce and the premises were not the only things to grow; the products and services also developed constantly. The quality assurance certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 that was introduced in 1993, the introduction of C-parts management in 1996 and the continuous adjustment to changed standards, materials and product details are just some of the highlights.

The Lederer product and service range is now based on three core segments:

• the „traditional sale“ of fasteners to trade and industry (normed, standardized and also special parts made from stainless steel, steel and special materials) more
• services relating to all aspects of the fasteners (finishing, coating, sorting, packaging …) more
• C-parts management and logistics systems (also articles not in assortment) more

More than 6,000 satisfied customers have already opted for a long-term business relationship with Lederer. In many cases these relationships have even developed into trusting partnerships. To us, this proves that the course we have taken is the correct one – and we will continue to follow it single-mindedly. This guarantees that in future too, the customer will have a responsible, competent and reliable partner in Lederer.

Making use of progress
 
In an age of ever-faster information, accelerated processes and shorter response times, only those who are open and receptive to these developments will survive. In the same way that the letter, telephone, telex, fax and finally e-mail media complemented and/or replaced each other in the communication between customers and suppliers, the processes for exchanging business and process data is also developing continuously.

• connected to the customer´s ERP system by means of EDI
• electronic market places
• Assessment of demands via RFID
• own Lederer Online Shop and own Lederer Cloud Solution
• eProcurement and web-based ordering system
• BMEcat, XML, eClass and profiClass

are no buzzwords for Lederer; they are part of everyday life at our company. Many of our customers - from small trading companies to large, globally active groups - are already putting their faith in the flexibility and reliability of their electronic data exchange with Lederer.

In this respect, Lederer is large enough to implement even sophisticated and far-reaching solutions, for example in neutral marketplaces such as Mercateo , Onventis and Simple System or in proprietary corporate solutions such as SIEMENS´ Supply On.

At the same time, Lederer is still small enough to react flexibly to market requirements and carry out customers’ wishes quickly and without any bureaucratic delays. These days, the provision of article and price data in BMEcat and similar structures is just as much a natural part of our service as the connection to the customer’s ERP system via EDI or regular price adjustment via xls, csv and other data formats.

Of course, Lederer also offers the entire range of stainless steel products in the online shop.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re "just" looking for technical information or whether you want to make an inquiry or place a complex product order: Lederer is at your service here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.​​​​​​
