The Lekang story started on June 17th 1970. Lekang Maskin was established by Rolf Lekang, as a dealer of Sumitomo and JCB excavators. After a few years, the entire family of five was engaged in the business with machines and spare parts sales. Egil Lekang became responsible for filters, and led the development with the Lekang filter system, a filter database with e-commerce solution which simplifies our customers everyday business.

Today, the company name is Lekang Filter, and our core business is quality filters for mobile and stationary machines and equipment in the construction, transport, industry, marine, oil and gas industries. We have technically skilled employees with many years of experience, and a nationwide dealer network. We represent high-quality filter suppliers working world- wide, such as Cummins Filtration (Fleetguard) and Filtration Group (formerly MAHLE).
