Elpress in Lagercrantz Group

Kramfors-based Elpress has existed for 65 years and the culture is pervaded by a long-term approach and peak competence in selected product areas. Since Elpress became a part of Lagercrantz in 2006, it has grown on a stable basis and today is the largest company in the Group. The combined range of connectors with related tools, creates a high-quality system with a 10-year warranty, which provides added value for the customers. A key success factor has been the methodical development work that has been conducted over time in the Group. In the home market of the Nordic countries, the position has been reinforced and developed and in vertical markets where Elpress is extra strong, efforts have been made to boost exports in Europe, China and the USA, which often started as collaboration with successful Nordic customers. Manufacturing takes place in Kramfors where Lagercrantz is carrying out its largest ever investment with a new surface treatment plant, which will ensure efficient and environmentally friendly production. Other investments have also been made to secure production capacity and with the support of Lagercrantz’s growth fund, they have taken the step into several markets. Today approximately 2/3 of sales are exported outside the Nordic countries.
 

“Our vision is to become the leading player within electrical connection materials and technical expertise in the global market. With the investments made possible through Lagercrantz, we are strongly prepared to achieve this vision.” Jakob Sandwall, MD
