A rich history

Lande Family has a rich history as a Brabant family business with strong brands for generations. It began in 1970 with the production of steel furniture for the wholesale trade under the name Jami in Schijndel. For the first twenty years we also focused with Zwaardvis on the production of helm seats and bases for the nautical market. Then the course changed from serial production to customer-specific production. In 1998 Lande Family took over the design brand Artifort, which has been making history since 1890, and in 2012 the takeover of Pörtner was a fact.
