Lagercrantz has today acquired DP Seals Ltd, a leading supplier of rubber sealings and mouldings for high specification applications.

I look forward to working with Lagercrantz, in partnership with our own highly skilled team, to take advantage of the growth opportunities for the company’s products in the market," says Andrew Piper, Managing Director and owner of DP Seals.
DP Seals will be part of Lagercrantz’ International Division as of December 2023. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive effect on the Group's earnings per share.
