Lagercrantz Group has acquired 85% of I Holland Limited, the Nottingham-based manufacturer known for producing tablet compression tooling for pharmaceutical companies worldwide. The business will join Lagercrantz’s TecSec division in November 2025, strengthening the group’s presence in specialised engineering.
I Holland, established in 1946, supplies punches, dies, and other tooling components to customers in more than 100 countries. The company generates an annual turnover of £27 million and reports strong profitability.
“The acquisition of I Holland adds a truly global business to the TecSec division with strong growth potential and profitability – we look forward to continuing this development with the team”, says Martin Sirvell, Head of Division TecSec within Lagercrantz.
“It is exciting to welcome another niche market leader and high-quality management team to Lagercrantz UK,” says Andy Lister, CEO Lagercrantz UK.
Lagercrantz expects the deal to deliver a modest earnings-per-share uplift once fully integrated. “We are delighted to be embarking on the next phase of our company’s history with a long-term and stable owner who can support I Hollands’ continued development,” says Javier Raposo, CEO of I Holland. The current management team – Raposo, Rob Chatwin and Matthew Pullen – will remain in place and retain the remaining 15% stake.
