Founded in 1999, LNT Automation GmbH has its headquarters in Nellmersbach near Stuttgart, where it employs approximately 160 employees, including at its production site in the Czech Republic. Both sites are being expanded as part of the takeover. LNT will act as an independent company within the fischer group of companies, where it will continue to be active in its current markets. The two companies had already worked together prior to the takeover.

LNT Automation GmbH develops and produces custom-built electronic solutions. Furthermore, the medium-sized company deals with the development, manufacturing and distribution of custom-built, so-called capacitive touch systems such as multi-touch solutions made of glass and their respective controller units. The entire range of electronics is produced in-house.

The Federal Cartel Office has agreed to the takeover. Neither company has commented on the purchase price.
