Lesjöfors Springs has acquired and relocated to a brand new purpose-built distribution centre at Lindley Moor Road, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.


Thanks to continued growth in the automotive aftermarket, the spring supplier has moved into a 65,000 sq ft facility, offering almost 50% more storage capacity than its previous premises, with improved transport links to the motorway network and easy access for heavy goods vehicles.

Robert Glynn, Managing Director of Lesjöfors Springs said, “The acquisition of a new, purpose-built facility for Lesjöfors UK is great news for the company, our customers and the automotive aftermarket.  It underlines our ongoing commitment to developing the business in the coming years, and goes hand in glove with our growing manufacturing presence.” He added, “We continue on a ‘journey of improvement’ and this new facility means customers will experience even greater levels of service, backed up by our commitment to help them grow their sales of Lesjöfors products, through continued stock management support and regular promotions. The increased space, improved materials handling and warehouse management solutions, position us well to maintain our 99% service rate and to meet whatever demands the market throws at us, whilst allowing us to remain competitive through efficiencies.”

The new unit has been designed and built to Lesjöfors’ exact specification, with potential to extend the warehouse by a further 15,000 sq ft  should the need arise. The new site is well-located, right on the motorway network.

Lesjöfors Automotive produces an extensive range of springs for the European car and light commercial vehicle market, manufacturing the world's largest range of coil springs for the automotive aftermarket. In addition to replacement coil springs, Lesjöfors also supplies gas, leaf and sport springs.
