Our Story

Today, this dream—shared by Alfred Granig and his three sons—is a reality.

With an unwavering commitment to in-house design and manufacturing, Lorbrand has established itself as the global leader for conveyor solutions that can be fully customised to meet the needs of any project.

From pipe and plant conveyors to ship-loading terminals and overland conveyors, the company utilises the latest software and manufacturing technology to remain at the forefront of efficiency and quality while offering unrivalled after-sales support via an international network that spans 15 countries.
