'Litografia Artistica Cartografica' (L.A.C. in short), was founded in Florence in 1949 as a cartographic producer specialized in works on third parties' behalf, especially public entities.
Since the early 1960s up to its current production, L.A.C. has been realizing its own catalogue of products which today, after more than half a century of ongoing activity, is one of the most prestigious and complete in the national cartographic business. Its different kinds of maps are suitable for many and different uses and cover the entire national territory as well as other important geographical areas across the world. Moreover, L.A.C. is the only Italian company, and one of the very few in Europe, to produce relief maps. Other than for its wide range of cartographic products, Litografia Artistica Cartografica stands out for the significant availability and use of cutting-edge technological tools which enable it to realize all its productions with extreme precision, quality and rapidity. L.A.C. has a sales network made up of distributors and agents spread across every Italian region, as well as in Europe, Africa, Australia, Canada and the US. L.A.C.'s products are to be found in large distribution networks, in newsstands, bookshops and many service stations of the Italian motorway network. Every year, over one million people all over the world choose an L.A.C. map, and thousands of public entities, universities and editors ask us to take care of realizing their own products: thanks to the integrity of our production cycle, they can rely on a service that goes from the design of products up to their printing and final packaging.
Pursuing the strategy of continuous innovation, Litografia Artistica Cartografica has now developed a new trademark - GLOBALMAP - that will be working alongside the historical trademark of the publishing house. GlobalMap introduces on the market a new line of products that stand out for the prestige of their cartographic representation and for the practicality and originality of their packaging. The design of the new logo, the slogan 6quot;Geographical Design Solutions" and the appealing graphics of the covers have been thought out precisely to give such new products a modern and innovative, though also highly prestigious image, which represents a great cartographic tradition. The GlobalMap line is thus designed to satisfy the increasing demand for excellent and complete products. The new range of GlobalMap products, which all LAC's products will soon fall into, is ideal both for the expert and for the common user; both will find them particularly useful in terms of both consultation and practicality. All this ensures the immediate success of the GLOBALMAP line.
