About us
Our history, key figures & global presence
Today, LAB delivers large-scale projects around the world, operating in highly technical environments and offering innovative solutions for Flue Gas Treatment, Energy Recovery, and Carbon Capture.
Over 70 years of innovation in environmental solutions.
At the heart of our mission. Founded in 1953, LAB has become a key player in air pollution controls.
Originally focused on Waste-to-Energy, the company has since expanded its expertise to the energy, industrial applications, and maritime sectors.
In 2022, LAB joined the German group MARTIN GmbH, a leading designer of energy-from-waste combustion systems and steam boilers.
This integration strengthened LAB’s technological foundation and opened new opportunities for international growth.
