Idesta acquires Ergofokus

Through its subsidiary Wapeco AB, The Idesta Group has signed an agreement to acquire all shares in L&D Ergofokus AB from the previous owner, Björn Bok. The transfer will be completed on March 12, 2025.

This acquisition strengthens The Idesta Group’s presence in the commercial kitchen market by incorporating Ergofokus’ unique range of ergonomic kitchen products. Since its founding nearly 25 years ago, Ergofokus has built a strong and distinctive product portfolio focused on ergonomics, helping customers enhance productivity. Ergofokus primarily serves customers in commercial kitchens, the food industry, and the pharmaceutical sector, both domestically and internationally.

The acquisition enhances The Idesta Group’s offering in the commercial kitchen sector, creating synergies for both companies. The Idesta Group and Ergofokus share overlapping customer groups and product lines, allowing us to provide an even stronger comprehensive solution. This includes Idesta’s expertise in project deliveries of stainless steel furnishings and transport trolleys, combined with Ergofokus’ strength in ergonomic tools and industry-specific lifting trolleys. Additionally, the acquisition strengthens The Idesta Group’s presence in central Sweden, a key region in the Swedish commercial kitchen market.

Björn Bok will continue as CEO and sales representative for Ergofokus, and the company will remain an independent entity. All customer and supplier relationships will continue as before. We aim to maintain and further strengthen our successful partnerships with customers and suppliers under this new ownership.
