Lagercrantz 25 years on the stock exchange

Today – 3rd September 2026 – we celebrate 25 years as listed company under the name Lagercrantz Group AB!
We stem from 120 years of entrepreneurship as part of the Bergman & Beving Group (listed 1976).
We are now a Group of some 85 companies, all working together to be a technology group that offers
value-creating technical solutions, based on proprietary products and on products from leading suppliers.

Here are some steppingstones in our 25 years:

Lagercrantz Group is formed in 2001

In connection with the demerger of Bergman & Beving, Lagercrantz Group is formed and listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange on 3 September 2001. The IPO takes place during a turbulent period characterised by the IT and telecom crisis and great uncertainty in the world’s financial markets.

 Article in Swedish business paper Dagens Industri 6 Februari 2001 on the split of Bergman & Beving into three companies and Lagercrantz first presentation as a new Group.

2006–2009 A decentralised model

A focus on entrepreneurship, local responsibility and strong market positions have been a key part of Lagercrantz for a long time. During this period, the model is refined through an increased focus on proprietary products, technical content and higher value added. The companies continue to make decisions close to their customers and markets while preserving their identity and culture. During the financial crisis of 2008–2009, the model shows its strength. The Group continues to develop its operations, which creates stability and lays the foundation for continued expansion.

2010–2023 Expansion through entrepreneurship

During the 2010s, Lagercrantz grows rapidly through the acquisition of profitable technology companies and gradually builds leading positions in areas such as electrification, technical security, infrastructure and industrial technology.  With the business plan ‘Lagercrantz toward one billion’, the goal is set to double the profit to SEK 1 billion, a target that is achieved after just two years. The ambition is then raised further through the goal of reaching SEK 2 billion within five years.

2026 Some 85 companies with a shared entrepreneurial culture

Today, Lagercrantz consists of some 85 specialised companies operating in several countries. What the businesses have in common is a focus on technical expertise, close customer relationships and a strong local entrepreneurial spirit. A key part of the model is that the companies continue to develop under their own names, with their own management teams and strong local responsibility. By further developing companies based on their own conditions, rather than centralising and standardising, Lagercrantz has built a culture where entrepreneurship continues to be the driving force behind the Group’s longterm development.
