Elkapsling
Under the slogan "We protect the heart of your business", the subsidiary Elkapsling supplies IP-classified electrical and electronic cabinets and enclosures with a high degree of customised solutions. In Sweden, the company has built a strong market position as a quality supplier in its niche, and there are interesting growth opportunities in several Nordic markets.
Elkapsling in the Lagercrantz Group
Since Lagercrantz acquired Elkapsling in 2012, the company has had a stable development. Several members of the management team, as well as the owners at the time of the acquisition, are still involved in the business and together with the board, they have strengthened the company's niche focus and developed the business with new products, growth initiatives and better financial follow-up. Extensive work has also been done improving the sales process to be able to offer more customised proposals and solutions. The growth initially took place organically, but the collaboration has also been expanded with the sister company in Småland, Steelo, to strengthen the sales force with its own presence in southern Sweden. In the Norwegian market, Elkapsling collaborates with sister company Acte Norge and in Finland with Esari. An important part of the business development is the addition of content and products to the cabinets, adapted to the customers' unique needs, to create value. Under Lagercrantz's ownership, several investments have also been made, the most important of which is a new coating line, an investment for the future of approximately SEK 25 million.
"The collaboration with Lagercrantz worked perfectly right from the start. The discussion has been characterised by business focus and growth topics. The strategy we were already working on before the change in ownership has been strengthened and investments have been made with good judgment."
