Moscow, Russia – Lesjöfors’ Russian operation is located in Podolsk city in the Moscow region. From the warehouse, we deliver products to wholesale buyers from the automotive business. In the warehouse, which is about 2,500 square metres and has 10 tiers in height, we stock significant volumes of coil suspension springs and gas springs, leaf springs and U-Bolts.
Network of local distributors
Lesjöfors Russia’s customers are located all over Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus so transport distances are enormous. In each country, we work with local distributors who deliver springs to the customers’ warehouses. A typical customer is a wholesale buyer. As a rule, the customer should have its’ own warehouse and have a high range of spare parts as well as an extensive sales network. Most of our customers are online stores and we deliver almost on a daily basis to these customers.
Popular automotive exhibition in Kazakhstan
On April 6 and 7, Lesjöfors participated in Phaeton Expo, an exhibition of automotive components in Shymkent, Kazakhstan. The city is the third most populated city in Kazakhstan and one of its largest industrial, commercial and cultural centers forms the country’s second largest agglomeration. The exhibition is held every second year; this was the first time in Shymkent.

Among them were worldwide manufacturers and suppliers of auto parts, lubricants and equipment for passenger car service stations. The Lesjöfors stand had countless visitors, from car repair industry specialists and Phaeton customers to owners of retail chains and stores, and not to forget, pure car enthusiasts. The visitors came from different and far-off regions, even from neighboring countries of Kazakhstan – Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
