Cibes Lift Group acquires Profilplåt i Järbo AB in Sweden

Cibes Lift Group has acquired Profilplåt i Järbo AB, a long-standing and key supplier based in Järbo, Sweden. The transaction was completed on July 1, 2025, following a close and collaborative partnership spanning more than two decades.

Founded in 2003, Profilplåt specializes in sheet metal production for the lift industry and employs around 40 people. With deep expertise in Cibes-specific manufacturing processes, Profilplåt has played a key role in delivering high-quality components for Cibes’ production.

“Bringing Profilplåt into Cibes Lift Group is a strategically important step that strengthens our long-term production structure and competitiveness. Their technical know-how, specialized machinery, and long-standing experience with our products ensure continued access to key capabilities, capacity, and quality,” says Per Lidström, CEO and President of Cibes Lift Group.

Over the next two years, Profilplåt’s operations will be gradually integrated into Cibes’ manufacturing units in Gävle, Sweden, and Gdansk, Poland. Per Norling, CEO and former owner of Profilplåt, will remain with the company during the transition to support continuity and knowledge transfer.

“After many years in operational leadership, I was ready to take a step back and began looking for a long-term solution for the business and our employees. We’ve had a strong partnership for many years, and I feel confident that the business will now live on within Cibes. It feels both natural and reassuring,” says Per Norling, CEO of Profilplåt i Järbo AB.

The acquisition is part of Cibes’ strategic plan to strengthen its production capabilities and ensure long-term competitiveness across global markets.
