Being part of a larger corporation not only gives us greater reach, it also enables us to access sales strategies, knowledge, technologies and networks that enriches our employees and adds value to our customers.
Being part of Lesjӧfors’ worldwide stage of excellence is exciting and achieves a growth ambition that me and my team have been driving towards. Being Lesjӧfors’ first acquisition in France, is recognition of the quality component manufacture Ressorts Lacroix deliver and we look forward to thriving even further under the Lesjӧfors brand,” concludes Dutheil.
Ola Tengroth, CEO of the Lesjӧfors Group concludes: “Acquisitions add value to us, but it is equally as important that it adds value to the acquired company too.
We are laser focused on delivering this and it’s a joy to have acquired Ressorts Lacroix, a company whose success we have been watching for quite some time. We’re grateful to them for enabling us to now say we have a manufacturing plant in France, and we look forward to developing this partnership even further.”
