About us

Who we are

Our passion, flexibility and experience characterise us and are intrinsic to our DNA, that of Lidering. With almost fifty years of experience, we are characterised by our demanding and resolute capacity, which has led us to solve even the most difficult crossroads when it comes to mechanical seals. We find, for each customer, the most efficient formula to solve their needs in sealing systems.

Thanks to our production centre, located in Reus, we are recognised in the market as one of the leading manufacturers of mechanical seals at national and global level. This, together with the experience and knowledge of our team of engineers, enables us to design and produce unique parts for each customer. Not forgetting our wide range of our own serial parts for pumps, agitators and other complex systems, capable of guaranteeing the efficiency and safety of the installations.

We are present on all five continents, thanks to our extensive network of our own plants, distributors and customers in strategic sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, energy generation, biofuels and water treatment and purification, among others, who have placed their trust in us as their main supplier of mechanical seals.

We are pleased to contribute to and form part of a responsible industry that works to build a better world and a safer future.

Corporate values

Responsability

Responsability is a fundamental value in order to guarantee the achievement of our long-term vision: earning the trust of our customers. This implies striving to fulfil our daily commitments as an essential premise in tending to the needs of others.

Ethics

We believe in the social responsibility that all organisations must exercise to help create a fairer and more balanced world. This must be expressed by displaying ethical attitudes in the treatment of our staff, customers, suppliers and stakeholders, and as such, we have set up an internal ethics policy and do everything in our power to enforce its provisions.

Team work

We believe team work is essential to generate work environments and to design professional projects that enable the creation of teams who can rise to the challenge of working in harmony. It is possible to go further and overcome the most interesting challenges if we join forces.

Passion

We hold a strong conviction that no project can progress without relationships based on more than mere rationality. Many factors in human dynamics are nurtured and developed based on a culture of belonging, responsibility and loyalty to a shared set of ideals.

Diversity

Family of Companies promotes diversity, based on the philosophy that each company and individual needs their own identity and the ability to understand and interpret the reality of our environment. EPI INDUSTRIES Family of Companies and Lidering, as a group company, aim to reinforce diversity as a symbol of wealth in order to build a better world.

Sustainability

In a fragile and vulnerable environment, we consider our responsibility to align our business projects with social, environmental and economic sustainability. Our goal is to share, learn and spread our sustainable experiences with all employees and stakeholders around us with the challenge to achieve a better world.
