Our Roots in Gosheim

The history of Laudenbach Formtechnik is closely linked to the municipality of Gosheim and the life journey of its founder, Franz Laudenbach. Here, at the foot of the Heuberg, he founded his family and, with courage, diligence, and craftsmanship, laid the cornerstone for a company that today is known throughout Europe for its precision and innovative strength.

After initial professional roles in the region, Franz Laudenbach decided to venture into self-employment in 1990. This courageous decision was driven by his conviction that plastic had greater potential. In a rented building in Gosheim, he began manufacturing injection molded parts and tool components. Thanks to high quality standards, functional thinking, and genuine passion, the company steadily grew.

In 2000, the company moved into its own building on Sturmbühl. This provided not only space for growth but also a solid foundation for modern administration, in-house logistics, and efficient production processes. Throughout this, Gosheim remained more than just a location; it is home, origin, and an integral part of the company’s identity.

Franz Laudenbach was and remains deeply rooted in his home municipality. The history of his family, the construction of his own home, his first professional steps, and the growth of the company – all are closely tied to Gosheim. The respectful interaction, regional groundedness, and willingness to take responsibility continue to define Laudenbach Formtechnik’s identity today.
