Lapp
Strategic acquisition of Cableforce Electronics
The Lapp Group has acquired Cableforce Electronics with effect from June 1, 2025. By merging with the Chinese specialist for circular connectors, Lapp intends to strengthen its global market presence and production capacities for industrial connectors.
Cableforce Electronics, founded in 2015, specializes in circular connectors and has been a partner of Lapp since its foundation. The company, based in Dongguan City near Shenzhen, is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lapp Group.
CEO Matthias Lapp explains: "Over the last ten years, Cableforce has built up an impressive market position, an extensive portfolio and a high level of engineering expertise in the circular connector sector." The merger will integrate Cableforce globally and integrate the company into Lapp's network. The German family-owned company has been active in China for more than two decades: since 2003 with its China headquarters in Shanghai and two production facilities, which were opened in 2012 and 2023. Matthias Lapp comments: "China is one of our most important growth markets and we are determined to further expand our presence: As part of our local-for-local strategy, we are continuously investing in our research and development capabilities, our manufacturing capacities and our technical sales network in China and the Asia-Pacific region."
Cableforce currently employs over 100 people. The companies have agreed not to disclose any financial details of the transaction.
