Scafom-rux

What Scafom-rux does

Scafom-rux (legal entity Scafom Holding B.V., headquartered in Budel, Netherlands) is a privately held scaffold manufacturer and rental provider founded in 1978 with operations in more than 20 countries across five continents and a headcount in the 1,001–5,000 range. Its portfolio centres on the proprietary RINGSCAFF modular scaffold system, complemented by the SUPER-RS modular façade scaffold, the MULTI-ROOF weather-protection roof system (capable of 40+ metre unsupported spans), RINGSCAFF stair towers up to 60 m, shoring solutions and props, and a broad accessories catalogue. Differentiated engineering features include backward compatibility with incumbent frame-scaffold inventories, electrostatic-discharge base plates certified to TRGS 727, and reference installations such as a 140-metre hoist tower in Manchester and a 3,500 m² weather-protection roof in Berlin.

The company monetises through four streams: direct scaffold sales, manufacturer-direct scaffold rental (short-term from 4 weeks, long-term, and rent-to-buy) backed by more than 100,000 tonnes of inventory, professional training and certification services for scaffolders and engineers, and project-engineering services including drawings, static calculations, and customised component design. Sales and rental are executed through local country operations in Europe, the Americas, and Asia-Pacific, supported by manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Romania, Poland, and China. Customers are concentrated in the construction, oil/gas/chemical, mining, shipbuilding, and infrastructure sectors, with named enterprise references including Kinlan Scaffolding, Prime Scaffold Design, Schaarschmidt Gerüste GmbH, and STAVAB lešenie s.r.o. Marketing and demand generation rely on industry content (blog, downloadable technical leaflets), major trade shows such as bauma, and active LinkedIn/YouTube/Vimeo channels.
