Acquisition of Asept International AB

Today Lagercrantz Group has acquired all shares in the Swedish company Asept International AB. Asept is a niche product company offering dispensing systems that are mainly used for liquidised foods. The patented products are utilised by global food product manufacturers, restaurant chains and by other sectors that need customised packaging and dispensing solutions. Use of Asept's products minimises the need for preservatives, reduces customer costs, enhances exposure potential for food product manufacturers and delivers improved hygiene control. Asept generates total annual sales of about SEK 65 million, based on good profitability. “Asept is a company with a leading position in its market niche and thus fits in well with our ambitions in the Niche Products division. Asept has displayed an innovative, stable and strong performance over a long period of time. As new owner, our intention is to continue developing the business based on the company's strong existing platform.” commented Jörgen Wigh, President and CEO of Lagercrantz Group. Sten Drennow, CEO and owner of Asept: “With Lagercrantz as owner, Asept gains a financially-strong and long-term owner, providing even better opportunities to continue developing and expanding the company.” Asept will form part of the Lagercrantz Niche Products division as from August 2013.
