The company Lamy not only stands for writing instruments of the highest quality, but also defines a globally recognized brand name. Since 1966, high-quality and unique writing instruments have been produced at the Heidelberg plant under the name Lamy. The production in Germany is beside the special design and the outstanding quality one of the main pillars of the enterprise strategy.
For the Lamy spring production, OTEC has developed an individual process to grind and polish the surfaces of the nibs for a perfect finish.
At the Heidelberg plant alone in 2017, well over nine million nibs were produced, both steel and gold. From the design to the finished spring, everything must be right to make a perfect writing instrument. The surface treatment of the nibs is an important part of the manufacturing process and guarantees not only a high-quality appearance, but also the best functionality. Due to the preceding processes, burrs and grinding marks are created on the nibs. In a multi-stage process, burrs can be removed and the spring polished to a high gloss.
