LMF manufactures high pressure compressor units for energy recovery and processing. As a niche player with excellent development skills the company is particularly active in the oil and gas exploration industry and is the global market leader for compressors used in natural gas exploration beneath the sea bed (seismic).
During the previous three years LMF has been able to boost turnover by 140 percent up from Euro 35.8 mil. to a forecast Euro 85.0 mil for the current fiscal year. In the same period headcount rose from 220 to approx. 400.
In June this year NORD Holding sold its subsidiary Transnorm headquartered in Harsum near Hildesheim also to Equita. "Equita is a very reputable partner. We are convinced that both LMF and Transnorm have a great future in their hands", stated a NORD Holding spokesperson.
