What Proman does

Proman s.r.o. is a Slovak private limited company (s.r.o.) founded on December 3, 1997 as a subsidiary of the Czech parent PROMAN Chrudim, headquartered in Nové Mesto nad Váhom. The company designs, supplies, and installs warehouse storage rack systems — pallet racks, shelf racks, cantilever racks, and steel platforms — for industrial, logistics, retail, and manufacturing customers. The four core product lines are built on self-supporting steel construction using standard rolled profiles, with modular and configurable designs (e.g., adjustable beam levels at 70mm increments, EUR and industrial pallet-compatible dimensions). Product variants extend the core into drive-in racks, mobile pallet racks, gravity/push-back racks, multi-floor shelving, and mobile archiving systems; the Storeganizer hanging bag accessory is offered as a complementary order-picking optimization product.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market: project-based enterprise field sales with free quotation, design proposals, transport, assembly, inspection, and warranty service for complex installations, complemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (eshop.proman.sk) for standard configurations. Pricing is unit-based on standard SKUs (e.g., €87–€739 ex VAT depending on rack size) and subscription-style for custom cantilever configurations. The named customer base includes large multinational enterprises — IKEA, Kaufland, Lidl, LEGO, Nestlé, ŠKODA, IVECO, ABB, Foxconn, and HAMÉ — alongside an SMB and individual buyer base served through the e-shop. Operations span 20+ countries across Central, Eastern, and Western Europe and Japan, supported by a multilingual website in 11 languages. The company has 30+ office staff (sales, technicians, administration) plus 20+ assembly workers and holds product certifications from the Technical Testing Institute Piešťany for all five core rack systems.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Constructor Group: Industrial/warehouse technology group encompassing Dexion, Kardex Remstar, and other storage/racking brands. Comparable racking portfolio at group level and represents a likely roll-up acquirer profile for regional players like Proman.
• Jungheinrich: German global leader in forklifts, warehouse equipment, and storage systems including pallet racking and shelving. Overlaps with Proman on racking while offering trucks, automation, and software as part of a wider intralogistics portfolio.
• SSI Schaefer: German global intralogistics provider offering pallet racking, shelving, automated storage, and integrated WMS/WCS software. Overlaps directly with Proman's racking business while also competing via broader integrated solutions that Proman does not offer.

Direct peers

• AR Racking: European racking manufacturer specializing in pallet racking, shelving, and cantilever systems, with growing presence in CEE and active export program. Comparable mid-sized competitor with a similar product-led B2B model.
• Stow Group: European specialist in pallet racking and stationary storage systems with strong presence across CEE. Competes with Proman on pallet racking, drive-in racking, and shelving for industrial and retail customers.
• Mecalux: Spanish-headquartered global manufacturer of pallet racking, shelving, cantilever racking, and automated warehouse systems. Direct competitor across the same product categories and customer segments, with substantially larger scale and global footprint.
• Dexion (Constructor Group): Established European racking and shelving manufacturer (part of Constructor Group) covering pallet racking, shelving, long-span systems and mezzanines. Direct overlap with Proman's core SKUs and customer segments.
• PROMAN Chrudim: Czech parent company of Proman s.r.o., offering the same core product lines (pallet, shelf, cantilever racks and steel platforms) and sharing brand, customer overlap, and historical operating know-how. Most directly comparable entity given its parent-subsidiary relationship.
• BITO-Lagertechnik: German family-owned manufacturer of shelving, pallet racking, and order-picking solutions, including modular bin systems similar in concept to Proman's Storeganizer. Comparable product portfolio and B2B customer focus.

Emerging players

• Modula: European manufacturer of vertical lift modules and automated storage systems; competes with Proman's mezzanine and high-density storage offerings for customers seeking automation, while extending into the software-integrated intralogistics layer that Proman does not cover.
