LAC (Litografia Artistica Cartografica) was founded in Florence in 1949 and was the first cartography company to specialise in productions for third parties, particularly for public authorities. Since the Sixties, besides the typical production for third parties, an innovative project was carried out: a company Catalogue was created and distributed. After half a century of activity it currently appears as one of the most exclusive and exhaustive catalogues among the national cartography productions. LAC makes different types of Maps for various purposes and meets the needs of the entire nation as well as other relevant international areas. Furthermore LAC is the only Italian private company - there are only a few in the world – that makes relief cartography. Working methodologies – which are currently tested and functional – enable to yield high quality products as well as a high productive capacity and consequent low costs. LAC owns its own sale network made up by both authorised dealers and agents working throughout Italy as well as Europe, Africa, Australia, Canada and United States.
