Lesjöfors already conducts manufacturing operations in the Ruhr area, and this acquisition will also establish the company in the heavily industrialized region around Stuttgart. For Stumpp+Schüle, the acquisition provides access to additional products and markets through Lesjöfors’ other companies, of which China is particularly attractive.
Kjell-Arne Lindbäck, CEO of Lesjöfors, says,”This is a key strategic acquisition. We strive for strong market positions in selected markets. Germany is Europe’s largest spring market and this acquisition enables us to strengthen our position there. Furthermore, acquiring access to low-cost manufacturing in another country close to Germany is an additional benefit.”
Johann Klinger CEO of the Stumpp+Schule group says;”I am very pleased that we become a member of the Lesjöfors group who is a specialized spring and pressing manufacturer with a wide market presence. I feel that this will strengthen the Stumpp + Schule group and give additional opportunities with existing and new customers. It will also give us good opportunities for cooperation and benchmarking with our new colleagues to develop our operation further.”
