SKAPA

What SKAPA does

SKAPA is a privately held Dutch manufacturer of custom-made furniture for medical and veterinary practices, headquartered in Nijkerk, Netherlands. Its portfolio spans modular treatment cabinets (Arvid, Advin, Alvik and additional named models), sterilization furniture, the AllFlex tray and basket system, hygiene cabinets, tray cabinets, trolleys, reception desks (Balies), waiting-area seating, washing furniture, and the Petflat+ line of animal accommodation units for veterinary clinics. Core products are built from Solid Surface and related non-porous, dirt-repellent materials engineered to deliver seamless finishes that meet hygiene and infection-prevention requirements in healthcare environments. Proprietary technical features include LEGRABOX soft-close drawers (40kg and 70kg dynamic load), contactless multifunction faucets, and the Petflat+ Smart Control system for lighting, heating, ventilation, oxygen, and camera monitoring. All production is performed in-house at the company's Dutch facility, enabling bespoke configurations in materials, colors, and dimensions tailored to individual practices.

The company operates an enterprise field-sales model: advisors conduct personalized on-site consultations advising on routing, layout, and material selection; prospects visit the Nijkerk showroom by appointment; and digital catalog requests feed the funnel alongside social media (Instagram) exposure of completed projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — quotes are obtained through catalog requests or consultations — and revenue is recognized on a one-time sales basis at project delivery and installation. Customer references concentrate almost entirely in Dutch dental and orthodontic practices (e.g., Ortho Eindhoven, Reif tandartsen, Ortho Houten, De Tandenpraktijk Amsterdam, OrthodontistenClinic aan de Vecht, Tandartspraktijk Halderberge), with a small but notable veterinary install (Evidensia Nieuwegein via Petflat+).

The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no public listing, no M&A activity, and no senior leadership team disclosed in available sources. It operates with a team of approximately 15 skilled craftspeople and has supplemented its Nijkerk headquarters with an operations support office in Veenendaal. Sub-brands AllFlex and Petflat+ extend the portfolio into sterilization workflow organization and veterinary housing, respectively, and the company has co-developed Petflat+ in partnership with a group of veterinary professionals.
