Lagercrantz has today completed the acquisition of 85% of the shares of Nordic Road Safety AB.

The acquisition was previously announced December 22, 2023, and has now received regulatory approvals. NRS will be part of the Electrify Division as of March 2024. The acquisition is expected to generate a small positive contribution to Lagercrantz Group's earnings per share.
