Lesjöfors has acquired Harris Springs Ltd, a specialist UK-based spring maker.

Through the deal, the Scandinavian spring manufacturing group hopes to boost its presence in the industrial sector and will also invest in new machinery and distribution to support the Lesjöfors brand.

Robert Glynn, managing director of Lesjöfors in the UK, says: “The acquisition of Harris gives us a manufacturing presence in the UK and enables us service customers in the industrial sector with greater speed and efficiency.”

Harris Springs will not be changing its name or management team. It aims to offer the same quality of service combined with a wider product range from the rest of the Lesjöfors portfolio.

Lesjöfors manufactures springs, flat strip components and other gas springs at sites across the Nordic region, Latvia, Korea and China.
