Company History
Having just moved to California from New Hampshire, Saul Silverman, husband and father of three needed to find a job. With an entrepreneurial spirit and previous business ownership, Saul looked to the market to fill a void. In 1958 he saw that Southern California was attracting manufacturing companies who needed hand tools serviced and repaired. He started a small business out of the back of his Volkswagen van sharpening knives and repairing electric tools and motors. Named for his three children, Lawrence, Ann and Stuart, “LANS” Electric Motor and Tool was born.
Incorporated in 1965, LANS grew from the van to a storefront located in Covina. Saul’s youngest son, Stuart joined his father and mother, Goldie, helping in the family business. Stu had a knack for taking apart electronics and being able to diagnose and repair. After graduating from California State University, Fullerton Stu came to work full time in the family business, helping launch the company into other opportunities and pivoting from electric motors to air compressors and pumps.
Soon enough, Stuart found himself married with two children and running the family business with his wife, Kristine. They moved into the Glendora location where the company resides today with easy freeway access quickly able to service customers at their location throughout Southern California between Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Fresno counties.
As the company expanded into a high volume sales and service center of compressed air and vacuum pumps, Stu found a niche in providing customers with old-fashioned family values. Our motto of “We Care” was born. We care about our customers businesses and their employees livelihoods. Without compressed air most manufacturing, woodworking and automotive facilities would shutdown. Emergency calls with same day response time became our priority to get shops back up and running as well as preventative maintenance and providing rental air compressors.
Third generation to the air compressor legacy, Stuart and Kristine’s daughter, Shannon officially joined the company and changed the name to LANS Compressors with a total focus on the compressed air and vacuum pump system for a plant while maintaining the family spirit of the business – many of our employees, customers and vendors have supported the company’s growth for decades.
Once Shannon’s childhood playroom, now turned executive office, she has watched the technology of compressed air change over the decades to a more efficient system. A focus on electrical efficiencies, remote monitoring and ease of ownership propels our customers to our products. While honoring the legacy of LANS, Shannon, with the help of a robust team, has been at the helm to expand the company into new markets and opportunities.
