Locker manufacturer
– for more than 35 years
The origin of LockTec GmbH goes back to Scottish company RAAND, which as early as the 80s, was supplying electronic locker systems to stations and airports worldwide. Because locker systems ideally complement the product range of the SITEC Security and Technology group of companies (www.sitec.de), the Managing Director Olaf Clausen founded LockTec Ltd in Edinburgh in 1997, as well as LockTec GmbH in Weissenbrunn, and took over the Scottish company and most of its employees.
As the original inventor of patented lockers for the delivery of goods, LockTec developed the 'last mile' solution as early as 1997 and has since been electronic locker supplier for post and courier services worldwide. In recent years, the company brought the fully electronic locker system Locksafe to perfection and has also expanded its product range with the innovative cool lockers and Velosafe, a bicycle garage. All products are manufactured within the group of companies using the latest laser, punching and metal-working machinery – quality made in Germany!! This is why LockTec is always a ‘locker bank length’ ahead!
interior designer Heinz Clausen founded a small joinery company in Kronach (North Bavaria) in 1954. The company carried out interior modifications and shop fitting. With only basic materials and two employees, furnishings and fittings were designed, manufactured and installed locally.
When the rented premises were too small, a new factory for 25 employees was built in 1960 at the current location, Hummendorf.
In 1975, Heinz's son Olaf Clausen took over the management and founded SITEC GmbH.
In the years 1980, 1985, 1990 and 1996, the company and office buildings were expanded. SITEC now manufactures on a production area of 5500m2 of production area and remained loyal to the location in Hummendorf.
Foundation of LockTec GmbH: smart locker systems
Since locker systems fit perfectly into the business field of SITEC, managing director Olaf Clausen founded in 1997 LockTec Ltd. in Edinburgh and the company LockTec GmbH in Weissenbrunn and took over the Scottish company RAAND and a large part of the staff.
