A New Chapter: LundHalsey and Karnell — A United Vision for Global Growth
We’re delighted to announce that, as of 4th July 2025, LundHalsey has joined the Karnell Group — a strategic step marking a new chapter in our 40-year journey of innovation, design excellence, and mission-critical control room expertise.
Karnell Group AB, a Sweden-based industrial technology group known for its long-term, responsible ownership of product-driven market leaders, has acquired a majority stake in LundHalsey. With Karnell’s support — and fresh from receiving the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade — we are strongly positioned to accelerate global growth and further enhance our world-class solutions for clients worldwide.
While this is a significant milestone, it remains business as usual for our customers, partners, and team — now with the added strength of a long-term partner who shares our values, respects our legacy, and supports our vision for the future.
Same Team. Same Excellence.
Our leadership team, product designers, engineers, sales specialists, and customer support professionals remain fully in place and committed to your success. All current and future projects, service relationships, and partnerships continue seamlessly — backed by the same people you know and trust.
Stronger Foundations, Broader Horizons.
With Karnell’s strategic backing, we’re positioned to scale globally, deepen our R&D capability, and continue innovating across our product range — all while upholding the quality, design integrity, and customer experience that define LundHalsey.
Sector Expertise, Unchanged Focus.
We remain fully committed to delivering premium solutions for complex, mission-critical control rooms across aviation, broadcast, energy, utilities, transport, oil & gas, process control, defence, and beyond.
A Partnership Built on Shared Vision.
Karnell’s investment strengthens our position as a world-class, UK-based leader in control room console manufacturing and design. Their experience with family-owned, product-focused companies makes them the ideal long-term partner to help carry the LundHalsey legacy forward.
Chris Lund, LundHalsey Founder & Owner, comments:
“We are thrilled to join the Karnell Group. As founder of the business, it was crucial to find a partner who values our heritage, skilled management team, deep expertise, and commitment to quality and innovation. Karnell has acquired 90% of the shares with an option to acquire the remaining shares. The second-generation owners will retain 10% ownership in the company, and I believe this new partnership will open up exciting opportunities for our staff and customers, all while staying true to the core values that have guided us for over forty years.”Charles Evett, CEO, adds:
“This is an exciting milestone that builds on our strong foundation and global reputation. To our customers and partners: nothing changes in how we work with you — it’s business as usual, and excellence as always. I’m looking forward to working with Karnell’s leadership to build a bold and ambitious future together.”
Continuing to Shape the Future of Control Rooms.
We believe the future of control rooms lies at the intersection of ergonomic science, design innovation, and global capability. With Karnell’s support, we’re more empowered than ever to deliver world-class solutions — now at greater scale and with more impact.
To our clients, partners, and colleagues around the world — thank you for your continued trust. We look forward to an even more ambitious, connected, and high-performing future with you.
