Svenheim

What Svenheim does

Svenheim (Svenheim Møbelindustri AS) is a privately held Nordic office and school furniture manufacturer founded in 1946 in Osterøy, Norway, and currently organized as the Svenheim Group with its Norwegian parent and wholly-owned Lithuanian production subsidiary UAB Svenheim, which operates a 50,000m² factory in Alytus. The company designs and manufactures customizable workdesks (Tellus), conference and meeting tables (Factor, Optima, Dialog, Chat), storage systems (Titan, Locker, Saga, KopiPrint, The Box), acoustic screens and booths (Vesta, Peak), and IRIS school furniture including height-adjustable Sit&Stand desks, pupil desks, teacher consoles, and storage.

Its technology backbone is a suite of online product configurators — Tellus S, Titan S, Locker S, Factor, and the IRIS pupil-storage configurator — that translate user-selected dimensions, edge profiles, materials, leg systems, locks, and accessories into priced, 3D-visualized orders for registered dealers. Manufacturing is carried out in Lithuania and is qualified to Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Möbelfakta, FSC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, CE, and ROHS standards, with EPDs supporting public-sector procurement.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of office and school furniture via an extensive Nordic dealer network anchored by Input interior (locations across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland) plus regional dealers, with additional direct project sales enabled through a B2B webshop. Customer segments are corporate offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and public institutions across Scandinavia, with named references spanning banking (Sparebank 1), government (NAV, Sarpsborg Library), healthcare (Psykisk Helse Bergen Vest), energy (K8 Stavanger), maritime (VOW SCanship), and technology (ABAX). Leadership is family-legacy controlled with CEO Gisle Kolbu and a region-specific sales structure; no external private equity or venture funding is disclosed.
