The Laird Group PLC
 PROFILE
The Laird Group is getting out of the car and into electronics. Once a major European maker of auto sealing systems, Laird now focuses on computer assembly components, plastics distribution, and manufactures door and window hardware. Laird makes electromagnetic interference shielding that protects computer and electronics equipment from electromagnetic radiation. The company's security systems unit makes door and window locks. Laird Services distributes finished and semi-finished plastic products, and offers outsourcing of computer enclosure, telecom, and electronics assembly. Laird sold its car body sealing business (Draftex) to Sweden's Trelleborg Group in order to focus on its electronics operations.
