When searching for a synonym for deep technical expertise in the Czech industrial environment, sooner or later you will come across the name LENAM \u2013 the Laboratory of Experimental, Numerical and Analytical Mechanics. This engineering and development company based in Liberec has more than three decades of experience in simulation methods and experimental mechanics. Take a closer look with us at the history and present of a company that transforms virtual models into reality, both domestically and internationally.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Five visionaries at the dawn of a new era in Czech industry<\/span><\/h2>\n

It all began in the early 1990s<\/b>. A group of five enthusiasts from the Technical University of Liberec decided not to leave their academic knowledge on paper but to bring it directly into practice. At a time when simulation methods were still in their infancy and their industrial application was rare, they founded <\/span>LENAM<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their goal was to connect scientific approaches with real industrial needs and offer companies <\/span>modern tools for design development and optimisation<\/b>. This \u201cacademic DNA\u201d remains part of the company to this day \u2013 it maintains long-term cooperation with the Technical University of Liberec, supports continuous employee education, and creates opportunities for new technical talent. You can read more in <\/span>an interview with Radek Jel\u00ednek<\/b>, the company\u2019s owner and CEO.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the first \u0160koda to the European market and beyond to Asia<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the first and most important clients was <\/span>\u0160koda Auto<\/b>. The collaboration, which began shortly after the company\u2019s founding, has continued uninterrupted <\/span>for more than thirty years<\/b> and remains one of the pillars of LENAM\u2019s growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over time, <\/span>the client portfolio<\/b> has expanded to include major players such as <\/span>VW, MAGNA, Saint-Gobain Sekurit, Bonatrans, Knorr-Bremse, and Jawa.<\/b> What started as a local company has become a respected partner for technical calculations, simulations, and virtual development. Today, LENAM is no longer just a regional player \u2013 its expert services are used by companies <\/span>across Europe and as far as China.<\/b><\/p>\n

The power of integration: Virtual world and real testing<\/span><\/h2>\n

In 2018, LENAM made a strategic move \u2013 it joined forces with <\/span>AUREL<\/b><\/a> and became part of the <\/span>Colegium Holding<\/b><\/a> group. For customers, this means a significant advantage: comprehensive solutions under one roof, from virtual development to real-world testing.<\/span><\/p>\n

LENAM<\/b> specialises in advanced simulation methods and virtual development using <\/span>Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE)<\/b> tools. <\/span>AUREL<\/b> brings extensive expertise and facilities in experimental testing and physical validation \u2013 both in laboratories and at the <\/span>AUREL Proving Ground<\/b><\/a>. Thanks to this unique integration, customers can not only analyse product behaviour in a virtual environment but also validate simulation results under real conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The combination of virtual calculations and physical testing<\/b><\/a> enables significant risk reduction in development, shorter development cycles, and optimisation of designs even before serial production begins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Innovation powered by artificial intelligence<\/span><\/h2>\n

LENAM does not stand still \u2013 it focuses long-term on the development of new methods and technologies. Currently, it is involved in projects utilising artificial intelligence and advanced optimisation algorithms. These tools help identify optimal design solutions even for highly complex technical challenges \u2013 for example in gear development or advanced composite frame design. Simulation methods thus enable <\/span>faster testing of design variants and significantly improve overall development efficiency.<\/b><\/p>\n

Long-term cooperation with leading industrial companies places high demands on both quality and data security. LENAM therefore places strong emphasis on quality management systems and information protection. The company holds <\/span>ISO 9001:2015<\/b> certification as well as <\/span>TISAX\u00ae<\/b> certification, which is essential for cooperation with leading automotive manufacturers in terms of information security.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The future? Technical know-how without borders<\/span><\/h2>\n

Today, LENAM specialists influence the development of technologies not only in the automotive industry but are gradually expanding into other sectors. The company already collaborates with partners in <\/span>energy<\/b><\/a>, mechanical engineering, HVAC, the glass industry<\/b>, and is opening pathways into <\/span>space-related projects<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

LENAM is proof that Czech engineering expertise has an excellent reputation worldwide. Its advanced simulation methods help companies <\/span>accelerate development, reduce costs, and design more reliable products.<\/b> If you are looking for a development partner that is not afraid of complex challenges and supports its solutions with solid data, LENAM in Liberec is the right choice.<\/span><\/p>\n
