The Lüttgens story

Decades of experience make the difference

Making history with craftsmanship and precision

Lüttgens has specialised in plastics technology ever since it was first founded. As a family firm in the third generation, we have always felt a strong commitment to our home town of Heiligenhaus and our team of highly qualified staff. Where we come from and the people who work for us are important factors in our ongoing success story, which has lasted now for nearly eighty years.

Cutting-edge products carefully tailored to user needs are an integral element of our history because innovation has a long tradition at Lüttgens. We get together with our customers to develop ideas and transform them into successful products. In the meantime, more than 6,500 different articles have been designed and manufactured by us.

Back in 1974, Germany hosted – and won – the football World Cup. The game against Holland began with a penalty for the other side and was packed with excitement for the full ninety minutes. On that memorable day, the German team played in boots that were equally remarkable – they were the first ever to feature hybrid studs, made by Lüttgens.
The rest is history.
