Lufthansa Industry Solutions is a Germany-based information technology and consulting company providing digitalization, engineering and IT services to transportation, manufacturing and energy clients. Headquartered near Frankfurt am Main, the firm operates within the wider Lufthansa Group corporate family and collaborates with international partners across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Its offerings aim to connect operational technology and information technology for firms such as airlines, rail operators, and industrial manufacturers.
Founded in 1995, the company emerged as an in-house provider to support operations of Lufthansa affiliates and partner companies in Frankfurt am Main and beyond. During the late 1990s and early 2000s it expanded services amid trends driven by Enterprise Resource Planning adoption and the rise of SAP SE implementations across Airbus suppliers and logistics operators. Strategic growth included cross-border delivery centers influenced by outsourcing patterns established by firms like IBM and Capgemini. In the 2010s the company broadened from airline-focused IT to multi-sector digitalization, mirroring moves by consultancies such as Accenture and Deloitte. Expansion accelerated with projects involving Siemens, Thales Group partners, and manufacturing clients tied to Volkswagen supply chains.
The company provides a portfolio spanning IT consulting, software development, systems integration, and managed services. Core competencies include SAP SE implementation, cloud migration leveraging platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform; cybersecurity aligned with standards from ISO; and applications for asset management influenced by AVEVA and PTC paradigms. It offers engineering services for embedded systems used in avionics by firms such as Boeing and Airbus, along with predictive maintenance solutions using techniques from Siemens's digital factory frameworks. The company also integrates telematics and Internet of Things solutions referencing architectures promoted by Ericsson and Bosch.
The company targets sectors including aviation, rail transport, manufacturing, energy, and logistics. Aviation services support clients like Lufthansa, airport operators linked to Frankfurt Airport, and maintenance providers that follow standards from EASA.
