Our strength as an IT service provider lies in our ability to combine technical know-how with process and industry knowledge and entrepreneurial thinking.

Cross-industry experience

Our customers come from a wide range of different areas. These include air travel, logistics and transport. They come from the manufacturing and automotive industries, and are active in publishing and tourism, or in the energy and health care sectors. But no matter their industry, they all face the same, huge challenge of our time: They have to structure their IT all along the value chain in such a way that it reduces costs and simultaneously increases revenues and efficiency in the long run. In short: It is about companies’ future viability.

Lufthansa Industry Solutions helps companies to digitize and automate their business processes – from medium-sized to DAX-listed companies. In doing so, we do not just focus on the IT needed, but on our customer’s business as a whole, including its internal and external challenges.
