Storskogen acquires leading UK electronics manufacturer

Storskogen Group

Storskogen has acquired 90 percent of the shares in Darlington EMS Limited ("Darlington EMS"), a leading specialist electronics parts and components manufacturer in the United Kingdom (UK). The Company generated sales of approximately GBP 8.1 million in 2025, corresponding to around SEK 99 million. The acquisition further strengthens Storskogen's position in the UK.

Darlington EMS is a leading manufacturer of electronic parts and components, specialising in wiring harnesses, printed circuit board assembly, and control panel design and build. The Company is a trusted supply chain partner to customers operating in a range of sectors which are exposed to several of Storskogen's investment themes such as infrastructure, health and wellbeing, and automation.

Chris Pullen, Head of Storskogen UK, views the acquisition as supporting Storskogen's ongoing strategy to broaden its presence in key markets outside Sweden, with the UK as an ongoing significant focus.

"We are delighted to welcome Darlington EMS to Storskogen. The Company's strong position in a niche market with significant barriers to entry makes it an excellent addition to our portfolio, and we see potential for collaboration with similar businesses in the Group", says Chris Pullen.

Darlington EMS has around 70 employees and is based in south Manchester. The management team, led by Managing Director David Darlington, will continue to run the business.

"Joining Storskogen marks an exciting new chapter for Darlington EMS. Becoming part of an international group will offer our business new opportunities for growth, innovation and collaboration. We believe that Storskogen's long-term perspective and broad network will not only strengthen our ability to serve our existing customers, but also open doors to new markets and partnerships", says David Darlington.

Darlington EMS will be part of Storskogen's Industrial Technologies vertical within the Industry business area. The acquisition was completed on 2 April 2026. It is expected to have a marginally positive impact on Storskogen's earnings and EBITA margin.
