The Lesjӧfors Group, one of the largest spring corporations in the world, is increasing its global logistics network with the opening of a purpose-built distribution and sales centre for its standard stock range, which will ensure faster deliveries around Europe.

Lesjöfors Stock Spring Europe will be based in Haaksbergen in the Netherlands, and the new fulfilment centre will service Lesjӧfors’ extensive standard stock range across continental Europe, expanding the Group’s express delivery service that is already available in the Nordic countries.

Lesjӧfors Group CEO Ola Tengroth said: “Expanding our sales and distribution network into Europe is very exciting as we are now able to respond to customer demands for same-day deliveries across our standard range of springs, gas springs, pressings, wire forms and adjacent products. Strengthening our market position in our rapidly expanding standard range, we are looking to this new logistics hub to secure our ambitions to be the number one supplier of quality standard items in the industry.”

This latest investment is part of a strategic programme that has seen the Lesjӧfors Group grow from a 250-million-euro turnover to 400 million euros in the last three years. Henrik Furhoff, head of Business Area Standard, said: “Our objective is to significantly accelerate the growth of our standard items across Europe and this investment is a crucial enabler for that. Our goal is to deliver the widest range of standard stock items, the best customer service and the fastest delivery. This new development continues the Lesjӧfors Group’s ongoing expansion, enhancing our customers’ accessibility and convenience in our standard range.”

Partnership is key to success and the Lesjӧfors Group has optimised efficiencies across its company base by working alongside the new sales hub’s neighbouring colleagues at De Spiraal, also owned by the Lesjӧfors Group, to deliver to the Group’s sustainability agenda and enhance each site’s support functions.

Ali Akhondzadeh, Lesjӧfors Stocks Springs Europe general manager, concluded: “When we are at full capacity, we will have the widest range of stock springs and gas springs in Europe. All will be available for immediate purchase - with same-day delivery across continental Europe - strengthening our position as the number one partner in sustainable spring and pressing solutions.”
