Concentric

Concentric AB announced an updated strategy and financial targets to the market on 23^rd May, 2023 at its Capital Markets Day. The updated strategy set out the company's roadmap for the next five years, to accelerate profitable growth in its base and electrical businesses whilst delivering strategic acquisitions and maintaining strong returns to shareholders. The company's strategic review also included the optimization of its North American manufacturing footprint to create dedicated centers of excellence closer to our customers, and ensure the achievement of financial and other targets.

Today, Concentric announces the company has decided to close its facility in Itasca, Illinois.

Following the 2021 acquisition of EMP and subsequent integration of commercial and operational responsibilities, synergies have been identified resulting in the decision to relocate assembly and machining to facilities located in Greenfield, IN and Escanaba, MI. The consolidation of the Itasca facility into our existing North American facilities will achieve annual operational savings of MSEK 12.

Employees will be offered support by the company and customers should experience no business disruptions during the transition, which should be completed early 2024.
