The Lesjöfors Group, specialists in spring and pressing manufacture, has further increased its operations in Europe with the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Poland, as well as the acquisition of both a UK and French spring manufacturer.
The new production site in Marki, Poland, divides the custom-made tension and torsion spring manufacturing specialisms across two dedicated sites and enables the production and assembly of increased spring volumes, in-line with customer demand.
In addition, investments have also been made at its subsidiary Alcomex’s standard stock door spring operation in Pune, India. The investment enables advancements in cutting edge technology, production lines, storage and shipping facilities, as well as expanding capabilities in-line with market predictions for the European and American residential and industrial door spring market.
Lesjöfors Group has also purchased Clifford Springs Ltd, a spring manufacturer based in Redditch, UK, expanding Lesjöfors Group’s parent owned sites to six within England. The aquisition also broadens Lesjöfors Group’s extensive global product offering with Clifford Spring’s seal energising technologies.
Lesjöfors has also signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Ets Lacroix SAS, a French spring manufacturer supplying mainly compression springs to customers in hydraulics and general industries. Lacroix is a French industrial spring manufacturer with high technology specialisation focusing on small to medium-sized batches. The company is well known for being a reliable supplier with strong industry know-how and quality.
“Acquisitions are a core part of the Lesjöfors growth strategy, strengthening our brand as a leading spring and pressing supplier. We have over 50 production and technical sales offices in Europe, America and Asia and are actively looking to acquire more spring manufacturers, to extend our capabilities and geographic reach,” underlines Ola Tengroth, CEO at Lesjöfors Group.
