Horst Lach has experienced several times of crisis in his life and has skillfully steered the company, which was founded by his father in 1922 and taken over by him in the 1960s, through the times. On April 3, he turned 80 years old.
Almost 100 years later, he has developed Lach Diamant from a diamond grinding company into a tool manufacturer: Lach Diamant produces high-precision diamond and CBN tools worldwide and develops suitable tool concepts together with its customers from the automotive, aerospace, wind power, electronics, furniture and mechanical engineering industries. The company now employs over 150 people at its sites in Hanau, Lichtenau near Chemnitz and Grand Rapids/Michigan, USA.
The long list of successful patents and implemented tool solutions have earned Horst Lach the name "pioneer of the diamond and CBN tool industry". Horst Lach himself sees his greatest achievements in his professional life, but his drive and commitment are also evident in his free time. The 80-year-old entrepreneur still spends every spare minute on the golf course - with energy and drive. But above all, he lives through all the highs and lows with "his" club: as a big fan, he cheers on the Eintracht Frankfurt team live at every home game.
