Lesjöfors is rebranding its two former European Springs & Pressings’ factories in Cornwall, UK, and launching them as a new company – Lesjöfors Heavy Springs UK.
Lesjöfors’ rebrand is part of a new division, focusing on growth and significant investment in the heavy springs sector across the synergised specialisms, product range and industries served within the Lesjöfors heavy coiling sites in the UK, Finland and Sweden.
The UK company has achieved a record breaking order book over the last year – sales are up 35%, the workforce by 40% and a new annual turnover record at GB£15 million (€17.8 million). In 2022, there are also plans to invest GB£1 million in new machinery.
“As part of our global long-term future focused growth strategy, the heavy springs sector has been identified as one of four key expansion areas and the Cornwall sites evolution, to a new Lesjöfors brand, is a natural fit for the company’s future,” points out Ola Tengroth, CEO of Lesjöfors AB.
