In response to an increased demand for its large diameter springs, Lesjöfors Group has invested over €1 million to purchase an additional hot coiling line. This investment not only doubles its hot coiling production, but also sees the return of the hot coiling manufacturing process in the town of Lesjöfors, Sweden.
In the last three years, Lesjöfors Group has grown from a €250 million company to a €365 million company – with Lesjöfors springs used in applications across a variety of sectors such as energy, rail, mining and power generation. As heavy springs are a key component within these major global industries, it’s fitting that this investment has involved parties from all over the world.
The line was purchased from South Africa, bespoke refining elements have been added with specialist additions from China, and personnel have skill shared across these countries, as well as the UK, Finland and Sweden.
Ola Tengroth, CEO at Lesjöfors Group, reports: “Our heavy springs product range – the larger, wire size market – has been rapidly expanding across our portfolio. This latest investment is in direct response to customer demand, enhancing our hot coiling capacity and capabilities in-line with market growth – ensuring we continue to deliver the quality turnaround times and customer service we excel at.”
