Quality grows from tradition - since 1934, our core business has been providing cleaning solutions for the paper industry
Lanko International produces chemical solution explicitly for the paper industry which are very effective, easy to use and friendly for machine and environment which are supplied from stock.
Lanko was founded in 1934 and after almost 90 years has developed into a modern company with customers all over the world. In the beginning, the activities were in the production of chemical cleaning agents for general use.
It quickly became apparent that these products were also very suitable for cleaning press felts and dryer fabrics in paper machines. Due to the high demand, the focus quickly turned completely to the paper industry.
