What Helge Lønhart does

Helge Lønhart is a Danish VA (Vand & Afløb — water and drainage) wholesaler founded in 1961 and headquartered at Skovlunde Byvej 100, 2740 Skovlunde, Denmark. The company distributes a broad catalog of VA articles across ten product categories, including smooth sewer systems and wells, floor drains, corrugated sewers, drain pipes, installation and cable pipes, concrete and well goods, infiltration and separator systems, HT pipes, water supply and pressure pipe systems, and tools and workwear. In addition to transactional wholesale, Helge Lønhart offers specialty solutions including plastic welding (plastsvejsning) performed in-house and on-site, together with professional technical consultation (faglig rådgivning) to VA-industry customers.

The company operates a B2B wholesale go-to-market serving SMB professional buyers — primarily installers, contractors, and tradespeople active in the Danish water and drainage industry — through a user-friendly webshop with a 7 PM order deadline for next-day delivery and manual order verification for accuracy. Effective June 1, 2026, Helge Lønhart was acquired by ScanPipe, Denmark's largest VA wholesaler; the Skovlunde department continues to operate with the same staff, address, logistics, and VA assortment, while customers gain access to ScanPipe's nationwide network of seven departments (Skovlunde, Greve, Ringsted, Odense, Vejle, Aarhus, Aalborg), the central warehouse in Odense carrying the market's broadest VA inventory, the KvikBoks rapid-delivery service, and the Vand & Design specialty solutions offering.

Revenue mechanics are based on wholesale transaction fees on VA product sales with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm is private (no stock exchange listing), employs between 11 and 50 staff, and serves only the domestic Danish market. Its customer base is horizontally segmented across the VA industry without disclosed named accounts, and no revenue, funding, or financial figures are publicly available.
