Founded in Monza, Italy, in 1966, Lofrans specializes in the design and manufacture of windlasses and anchor management solutions. The company provides a range of over 25 models suitable for boats and yachts from 6 to 50 meters.

Quality is maintained through the use of AISI 316 L stainless steel, marine-grade metals, and electric motors designed for high torque. The production process utilizes hot pressing technology to ensure minimal porosity and superior mechanical features in metal components. To enhance durability, exposed parts receive chemical treatments to minimize marine corrosion.

The manufacturing facility in Monza covers 5,000 square meters and houses a team of designers and technicians. Quality control involves dimensional testing with 3D coordinate measuring machines and corrosion testing in specialized environmental chambers that simulate harsh sea conditions. Products are certified by major classification societies, including RINA, BV, and DNV.

Lofrans serves as a standard equipment provider for prominent global OEMs. Its distribution and service are managed through a network of more than forty official distributors in key marine markets. Recent developments include investments in integrated warehouse management systems and automated quality assurance tools to support ongoing product evolution.
