Under the terms of the agreement, Lantek will provide Bystronic with manufacturing management software systems and consultancy expertise.

With innovation a part of the DNA of both companies, this partnership will help Bystronic’s customers transform how they manage Bystronic machines and transcend the established boundaries in the sheet metal industry,” said Alberto Martinez, CEO of Lantek.
