About Lucas-Nuelle
Lucas-Nuelle has spent more than 50 years on one goal: preparing people for technical careers through hands-on learning. The company designs and builds training systems for vocational, technical, industrial, and engineering education. Its range covers electrical fundamentals, power engineering, automation, electric vehicles, fluid power, and more.
Today Lucas-Nuelle offers more than 400 training systems, used by schools, colleges, and training centers in more than 100 countries. Every one is built on the same idea: students learn best when they work on real technology with structured, proven instruction. Klein Educational is proud to bring Lucas-Nuelle training systems to high schools, community colleges, universities, and workforce development centers.
Who is Lucas-Nuelle?
Lucas-Nuelle was founded in 1973 in Kerpen, Germany, where it is still headquartered. In 2014 it opened Lucas-Nuelle Inc. in Williamsburg, Virginia, which handles sales, training, service, and customer support in the U.S. The company has about 300 employees and more than 60 distribution partners and subsidiaries worldwide. It reinvests more than 12% of annual revenue in product development and is ISO 9001 certified. Lucas-Nuelle also helps institutions plan and equip complete labs and workshops, so programs get a lab built around their needs that can grow over time, not just individual trainers.
Real Experience Learning
Lucas-Nuelle calls its approach Real Experience Learning. It closes the gap between textbook theory and real-world practice by pairing industrial-grade hardware with a fully integrated digital learning environment. Students train on real components that mirror actual workplaces. Everything connects to LabSoft, Lucas-Nuelle's e-learning platform, which offers:
Guided experiments, virtual instruments, and automatic assessments
Real-time dashboards for instructors
Every system is designed around clear learning objectives, structured assignments, and documented competency levels, so students and institutions can track real progress. Systems arrive ready to use, with built-in safety features, complete documentation, experiment guides, and direct support from the Lucas-Nuelle team.
