Lagercrantz Group AB has acquired 100% of UK-based Michael Smith Switchgear Limited, a Leicester manufacturer of bespoke low-voltage switchgear and electrical distribution assemblies serving industrial, commercial, infrastructure and data centre customers across the UK. With annual revenues of about GBP 8 million and a strong reputation for technical expertise and customer relationships, MS Switchgear will join Lagercrantz’s Electrify division in April 2026, with its management team remaining in place and the deal expected to make a small positive contribution to Lagercrantz’s earnings per share on an annual basis.
