Divesting a company is an exception in our operation. We have made several acquisitions in recent years which have strengthened the group. The decision to divest Stumpp & Schüle follows a careful evaluation and is based on the fact that Stumpp & Schüle’s profile is not in line with our strategic priorities and has limited synergies with our other companies. We are convinced that Stumpp & Schüle will have a favourable development with its new owners.
Ola Tengroth, Group CEO of Lesjöfors
Ola Tengroth, CEO of the Lesjӧfors Group says: “Our ambition is to be the most sustainable spring and pressing company in the world. To achieve this, we need to act. We know manufacturing has an impact on our environment and that is why sustainability integration has historically been one of our core strategic objectives.   Advancing our focus, committing to a climate reduction roadmap by setting emission reduction targets grounded in climate science, through the recent signing of the SBTi agreement, is a natural step in our sustainability progression and cements our commitment.” 
Ola Tengroth, CEO, Lesjofors Group
“Sustainability is about looking at the big picture and figuring out how we can contribute to a circular, sustainable society, monitoring technological developments around us, and valuing partnerships and collaboration.   Lesjöfors has an ambitious sustainability strategy and climate action is one of our priorities. We are on a journey and signing up to the SBTi confirms our commitment and helps direct our roadmap to improve on our sustainability goals even further.   We have already finalised our complete greenhouse gas accounting, developed our near-term targets towards 2030, submitted these to the SBTi and await validation.  We want to be transparent about the progress we are making across our whole value chain and that is why we have also launched a new sustainability focus on our website, visibly holding us accountable to our actions.”
Anna Haesert, Head of Sustainability, Lesjofors Group

Patrik Ignell, R&D manager
It is much easier for us to deliver the optimal spring to the customer if we have accurately designed drawings. To achieve that, the purchaser must have a basic knowledge in spring technology. The training was a win-win for both parts.
Janne Salminen, Technical Sales at Lesjöfors Springs Oy
It was so cool to build and test the suspension spring function on site, in the factory. Lesjöfors’ service is unique. They have a deep understanding of spring precision.
