Broad incumbents

• Steelcase: Global office furniture incumbent with a comprehensive ergonomic seating portfolio (Gesture, Leap, Series 1) sold through worldwide dealer and contract channels. Competes with Score primarily in the office ergonomic seating segment and increasingly in healthcare environments.
• Midmark: Established US-based medical and dental equipment manufacturer with broad product portfolios including medical seating, examination chairs, and casework. Competes with Score in the medical and dental seating niche as part of a much larger clinical-equipment portfolio.
• MillerKnoll (Herman Miller): Global office furniture powerhouse including the Herman Miller, Knoll, and Geiger brands, with deep presence in ergonomic task seating (Aeron, Embody). Operates broadly in the same end markets as Score's Office segment but at vastly larger scale and via global contract channels.

Direct peers

• Salli Systems: Finnish manufacturer specializing in saddle chairs for dental, medical, and office use. Salli is a direct competitor to Score's saddle-chair product line (Amazone, Jumper, Polo, Apical), targeting the same professional ergonomic seating customer base with a similarly focused product strategy.
• Brewer Company: US manufacturer of medical stools, examination room furniture, and ergonomic seating for clinical settings. Directly comparable to Score's Medical 6100/6101/6300/6301 lines and Vena phlebotomy chairs, serving the same healthcare procurement channels.
• Bambach Saddle Seat: Australian-origin manufacturer of the original saddle chair concept, sold globally through healthcare and office channels. Competes head-to-head with Score in dental, medical, and office applications, with comparable claims around posture and circulation benefits.
• Flokk (HÅG): Norwegian-owned European office seating group whose HÅG brand is renowned for ergonomic chairs with balance/active-sitting mechanisms—the closest large-scale analog to Score's Balance mechanism. Overlaps with Score in office, dental, and medical ergonomic seating and competes in the same European dealer channels.
• Office Master: US-based ergonomic seating manufacturer focused on task, executive, and specialty seating sold through dealer networks. Competes with Score's work-chair and office-chair lines in healthcare, laboratory, and office environments with similar ergonomic-mechanism positioning.

Regional players
