The pioneering spirit and entrepreneurship of its past leaders continue to inspire Lanco to reach greater heights. Inspiration has always been and remains to be the guiding light of Lanco. Therefore today, as Lanco embarks upon a new journey, it makes ‘inspiration’ its foundation. And this philosophy is symbolized by its new corporate credo: ‘Always Inspiring’.
