The Lesjӧfors Group has increased its spring and pressing operations in Eastern Europe with the opening of a new manufacturing facility in Poland alongside an existing plant that is part of Alcomex, its subsidiary.

A press release said that 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. “Acquisitions are a core part of the Lesjӧfors growth strategy,” said Lesjӧfors Group CEO Ola Tengroth. He noted that the company has more than 50 production and technical sales offices in Europe, America and Asia, and is “actively looking to acquire more spring manufacturers.”

At the Alcomex website, the Holland-based company notes that it has more than 300 spring employees in nine locations: Opmeer (Netherlands), Moravany u Brna (Czech Republic), Goch (Germany), Marki (Poland), Nędza (Poland), Paris (France), Pune (India), Sibiu (Romania) and Valencia (Spain). It manufactures door springs and industrial springs through its operating brands Alcomex, HZ Solutions and VIOD. Founded in 1992, the company was bought by Lesjӧfors in 2021. 

The Lesjӧfors press release said that investments have also been made at Alcomex’s standard stock door spring operation in Pune, India. That includes advances in cutting-edge technology, production lines, storage and shipping facilities.
