 American Lamprecht Focusing on the Basics: Switzerland to United States
As the turbulence, supply chain and logistics issues, and pricing variations from COVID have disappeared, American Lamprecht is returning to the basics of Swiss transportation to the United States.
“The pandemic was such a disruption on all fronts. Availability, pricing, inland freight, production, and warehouse capacity were all strained. We are now seeing a return to pre-pandemic levels,” said Sales Manager Delia Hines.
The calm is allowing American Lamprecht to focus on its core business. “Our core business is supporting the movement of goods from Switzerland to the United States. A little bit of calm and stability in the market is allowing us to focus on our specialty and serve our clients even more efficiently,” said Delia.
American Lamprecht is spending more time building relationships between the parent company’s employees and suppliers to ensure additional integration and optimization of the trade lane.

For 50 years, LNS has optimized the performance of CNC fixed and sliding headstock turning machines with the industry’s most advanced bar feeders, chip conveyors, coolant management, air filtration and work support systems. In addition, LNS provides unmatched applications assistance, customer support and technical service worldwide.
Five product cat egories and industry-best expertise means no company on earth can match the passion and vision we have for machine tool peripherals.
We design, build, and stand behind every high-pressure coolant system, bar feeder, chip conveyor, steady rest system, and mist collector we sell – we know every model inside and out, stock replacement parts, and local support is just a phone call away.
LNS offers 16 different bar feeders for fixed or sliding headstock machines that accommodate bar diameters from 0.12 mm to 120 mm, many with automatic or no-tool-required quick changeovers.
LNS Chipblaster high-pressure coolant systems perfectly match machine tools and applications, providing precise high-pressure force to allow cutting tools to operate at higher speeds and reduce tool wear.
eConnect Ethernet communications system enables data exchange between CNC machine controls and peripherals to reduce material waste and speed up production.
LNS Turbo chip conveyors handle all chip and material types – models include magnetic, hinge belt, and self-cleaning models that filter out 500, 140, or even 50-micron particles, which handle virtually all chip types and sizes from stringy stainless steel to fine brass and aluminum.
All models of LNS Fox mist collectors exceed OSHA and NIOSH air quality requirements, eliminating oil/coolant mist, smoke, and other fine aerosol particulates developed during wet machining operations.
Steady Rest work holding systems designed for your specific application requirements to increase part control and stability during machining operations.
