- LAVA sealers are developed and made by Landig + Lava, a family company in Bad Saulgau, southern Germany, founded by Manfred Landig in 1982.
- Orders usually ship the same or next business day, and spare parts are stocked in Australia.
- The machines are built to be repaired, not replaced, with spare parts supplied for 20 years.

The maker: Landig + Lava in Bad Saulgau
In 1982 Manfred Landig started out on his own in his home garage in Upper Swabia, in the south of Germany. Game refrigeration units came first, then mincers and sausage fillers for hunters and small butchers. In 2001 he and his sons Aaron and Christian created LAVA: Landig vacuum packing.
Today the family runs the company in its second generation from Bad Saulgau, north of Lake Constance, with three brands: LAVA vacuum sealers, LANDIG processing equipment and DRY AGER dry-aging cabinets. More than 350,000 customers worldwide use their products.

How a LAVA is built
A pump made for years of use
Ball-bearing pump motors that run quietly and draw down even large bags in seconds.
Double or triple seals
Two or three parallel seams, depending on the model, so a pack doesn't fail at one weak spot.
Gentle when it needs to be
Pressure control for soft food such as berries or bread: built in from the V.300 up, an L+ add-on for the V.100 and V.200.
More than bags
A removable liquid separator protects the pump, and a hose connection vacuums containers and jars as well as bags.
Why it matters to you
- Repair, not replace A modular design means foam seals, sealing tape and other wear parts can be changed, often at home.
- Spare parts for 20 years LAVA guarantees the supply of spare parts for 20 years, and the common ones are stocked in Australia.
- Real people, here Questions, warranty and service go to our Australian team, not a call centre. Contact us.
