Munich \u2014 The LEDLENSER Group has acqui\u00adred all shares in Ledco Ltd, Sunninghill, Berkshire (UK), as part of the entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial succes\u00adsion. Ledco was foun\u00added in 2004 and exclu\u00adsi\u00advely distri\u00adbu\u00adtes LEDLENSER products in Great Britain, Ireland and Nort\u00adhern Ireland. Former owner Jon Kemp will initi\u00adally remain with the company to ensure a smooth hando\u00adver. In the COVID-19 year, Ledco\u2019s busi\u00adness, like LEDLEN\u00adSER\u2019s busi\u00adness model, again proved to be extre\u00admely robust and perfor\u00admed very well.<\/p>\n
With the acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion of Ledco, LEDLENSER is consis\u00adt\u00adently pursuing the further opti\u00admiza\u00adtion of its value-enhan\u00adcing distri\u00adbu\u00adtion stra\u00adtegy. Follo\u00adwing the successful estab\u00adlish\u00adment of its own sales subsi\u00addia\u00adries in North America and Denmark, the acqui\u00adsi\u00adtion of Ledco means that the company is now also swit\u00adching to direct sales in the UK. In the coming years, sales in England, Scot\u00adland, Wales, Ireland and Nort\u00adhern Ireland are to be syste\u00adma\u00adti\u00adcally expan\u00added further in order to streng\u00adthen the presence in these important markets for LEDLENSER and to conti\u00adnuously expand the reve\u00adnue and earnings contri\u00adbu\u00adtion to the Group.<\/p>\n
After the Group was alre\u00adady able to increase its over\u00adall perfor\u00admance with a high single-digit growth rate in the crisis year 2020, LEDLENSER star\u00adted the new year 2021 with signi\u00adfi\u00adcant double-digit reve\u00adnue growth compared to the same period of the previous year. LEDLEN\u00adSER\u2019s successful deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment can be attri\u00adbu\u00adted to the consis\u00adtent imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion of stra\u00adte\u00adgic initia\u00adti\u00adves since Afin\u00adum\u2019s entry. The topic of product inno\u00adva\u00adtion also plays a major role here. As a result, more new products were laun\u00adched in 2020 than ever before in the company\u2019s history. The e\u2011commerce share is also conti\u00adnuously incre\u00adasing due to invest\u00adments in tech\u00adno\u00adlogy, online marke\u00adting and the team. Purcha\u00adsing and produc\u00adtion opti\u00admiza\u00adtion at our own plant in China are also alre\u00adady making a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant contri\u00adbu\u00adtion to earnings and ensu\u00adring product avai\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adlity and supply capa\u00adbi\u00adlity in these chal\u00adlen\u00adging times.<\/p>\n
