What Lesjöfors AB does

Lesjöfors AB is a Swedish industrial spring and pressing manufacturer headquartered in Karlstad, Sweden, and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the listed industrial group Beijer Alma. Founded in 1675, the company has built a global footprint of over 50 manufacturing and sales sites, serving B2B customers across automotive, aerospace, defense, medical technology, infrastructure, and industrial-automation sectors. Its product architecture is bifurcated between catalog stock springs for immediate delivery and bespoke custom springs engineered to customer specifications, supplemented by precision metal pressings, gas springs, compression springs, and energizer springs for niche seals-and-valves applications. The company differentiates through metallurgical capabilities in high-strength and corrosion-resistant alloys, certifications including ISO 13485:2016 for medical-device manufacturing at its Slovakian facility, and the ability to engineer products with design lives of up to 50 years in demanding environments such as harbour lighting and offshore platforms.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed pricing across both custom and stock channels. Go-to-market is direct B2B sales supplemented by trade-show presence (e.g., Elmia Subcontractor) and trade-publication engagement, with deep engineering collaboration embedded in customer relationships — exemplified by a five-year-plus supply partnership with UK-based Aluminium Lighting Company. The company has pursued a sustained acquisition-led growth strategy, completing four deals since 2022 (John Evans' Sons in 2022, Tollman Spring Company in 2023, Clifford Springs Ltd in 2024, and International Industrial Springs in early 2025), with the Tollman transaction alone credited with approximately 30% growth in US revenue.

In March 2026, Lesjöfors AB announced a corporate renaming to Beijer Components AB, positioning the entity as one of two principal subsidiaries under Beijer Alma alongside Beijer Tech, and signaling an intent to diversify further through acquisitions into adjacent component categories. The Lesjöfors brand continues independently. Oscar Fredell was appointed CEO of both Beijer Alma and Lesjöfors effective November 2025, reinforcing an explicit strategy-and-acquisitions orientation at the leadership level.
