Company owner and managing director Michael Lanny founded the company in 1991. The first valves were produced in a small workshop in Calmbach, but already in 1994 the production was enlarged. For this purpose, a building was constructed with an area of 500 m² at its present location in the district Calmbach of Bad Wildbad.
In the following years, control valves, switching valves, dome pressure regulator and customized solutions from MLS Lanny were increasingly in demand. The company has developed continuously and the production capacity had to be increased steadily. Until now three more buildings followed. The company's total area for production and management is currently around 6000 m².
