OUR STORY

Lantal is a Swiss-based, family-owned company established in 1886 in the heart of Switzerland. Ever since then, we have been working passionately day in and day out to design, develop, and manufacture high-performing textiles. Since 1954, our passion lies in creating aircraft interiors that reflect the airline’s heritage and branding, while also prioritizing passengers’ well-being. Today, we serve transportation customers in three core markets: aviation, railway, and buses, operating various production locations around the world.
