Lagercrantz acquires Kondator AB

Today Lagercrantz Group has acquired all the shares of Kondator AB.

Kondator develops and markets accessories for offices and workplaces. Customers
mainly consist of office furniture manufacturers, distributors and resellers of
office furniture with an ergonomic focus. The majority of sales are generated in
Sweden, but Kondator’s exports are increasing to the Nordic region and to the
rest of Northern Europe. The company’s operations are based in Tyresö outside
Stockholm and it generates annual revenues of about MSEK 60 with good
profitability.

“Lagercrantz acquires and develops businesses with leading positions in
interesting niches. Kondator has shown good profitability for several years and
is well-established in its niche. We intend to support the company’s ambition to
develop and expand its business operations,” says Jörgen Wigh, President and CEO
of Lagercrantz Group.

Jan Westerlund, founder: “Kondator has performed strongly since the business was
established 30 years ago. The product range has developed over time and for the
past 15 years we have focused on the current range, which mainly consists of
proprietary products. With Lagercrantz as owner, I am certain that we will be
able to continue the positive development of Kondator.”

Kondator forms part of the Lagercrantz Niche Products division from April 2016.
The acquisition is expected to generate a small positive addition to the Group’s
earnings per share on an annual basis.
