LAPP Group Completes Full Acquisition of JJ-LAPP, Unifying Southeast Asian Operations
LAPP Group, a German‑based supplier of cable and connection technology, has completed its acquisition of JJ‑LAPP, the joint venture it had shared with Jebsen & Jessen Group since 2004. The transaction brings the 350‑person Southeast Asian operation fully under the LAPP brand and integrates it into the company’s global structure.
The joint venture, founded in 2004, had grown from a small cable distributor into a regional connectivity solutions provider serving Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. According to the company, the move will preserve JJ‑LAPP’s deep local market knowledge while expanding service capabilities across the region.
Richard Lee, Chairman and CEO of LAPP Group’s Asia Pacific division, said the acquisition “reinforces our commitment to the region and strengthens our support for Southeast Asian businesses with direct access to LAPP’s global supply chain and engineering expertise.” He added that reliable connectivity is essential for the region’s expanding data‑center, automation and renewable‑energy sectors.
LAPP’s global workforce now totals about 5,700 employees, with 27 manufacturing sites in 80 countries. In fiscal 2025 the Asia‑Pacific region recorded a double‑digit growth rate, making it the company’s fastest‑growing area. The company plans to use Indonesia as a core manufacturing hub to shorten lead times and Vietnam as a key commercial hub.
The acquisition comes amid significant investment in AI‑driven data centres, automated factories and renewable‑energy infrastructure across Southeast Asia. These developments are creating demand for specialised cable and connection solutions that can operate in tropical environments.
Customers in high‑growth industries such as industrial automation, data centres and renewable energy will benefit from faster response times and deeper regional engineering support under the unified LAPP brand.
LAPP was founded in 1959 and remains a family‑owned business. In 2025 the company reported consolidated sales of EUR 1.93 billion. Its product portfolio includes standard and highly flexible cables, industrial connectors, screw technology, customised system solutions, automation technology, robotics solutions and technical accessories.
The acquisition of JJ‑LAPP is the largest in LAPP’s history and marks a milestone for its Asia‑Pacific operations. The company will continue to serve the region’s diverse markets while leveraging its German engineering reputation.
The press release for the transaction was issued by LAPP Group’s communications team on August 6, 2026. Contact information for the company’s external communications specialist was provided for further inquiries.
The move is expected to streamline operations, reduce duplication, and provide a single brand experience for customers across Southeast Asia.
