During a ceremony at the former royal palace in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg economic minister Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut awarded the state’s business medal to Ursula Ida Lapp, the Founder of Lapp Group. The medal represents a tremendous honour bestowed on an outstanding businesswoman. Among the federal state’s most prestigious honours, it is awarded only to people who have made an outstanding contribution to the economy of Baden-Württemberg.
Together with her husband Oskar Lapp (1921-1987), she founded the Lapp Group that today employs approximately 3,440 people around the world and has 17 production sites and 40 distribution companies. The company also works in cooperation with around 100 foreign representatives.
In India, Lapp Group operates through its wholly-owned subsidiary that started its operations in 1996 and currently has two manufacturing facilities. Lapp India provides about 150,000 km per year of power, control, instrumentation and data cables along with connectors, accessories and end-to-end systems.
In 2012, Lapp Group India completed phase one of its second manufacturing plant in Pilukedi (Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh) which produces more than 216,000 km of single core cables per annum, catering mainly to the building cable segment. The production area at Jigani (Bengaluru, Karnataka) was also doubled in 2014 and a new multi-core line was commissioned in Bhopal with a total investment of over 5 million Euros.
