Scanflex AS

What Scanflex AS does

Scanflex AS is a Norwegian private limited company (aksjeselskap) founded in 1986 and headquartered in Birkeland, Aust-Agder, Norway. It is Norway's largest manufacturer of interior solid wood doors (heltredører), producing classic and modern solid timber doors alongside the POCKET sub-brand of sliding door frames, loft ladders, and closet doors. The product range also includes fire/sound rated doors, cold room doors, and custom-sized specialty doors, with approximately 95% of products delivered from the factory with finished surface treatment. The company operates a 17-employee production base organized around vertically integrated manufacturing, including certification under the Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse) environmental standard and compliance with the Åpenhetsloven (Norwegian Transparency Act) for supply chain due diligence. Ove Reinhardtsen serves as CEO (Daglig leder).

The business sells exclusively through building materials retailers and chains across Norway, with selective export activity into neighboring Scandinavian markets. The POCKET trademark is an established brand in the Norwegian sliding door category. In 2026, the company expanded its line with KLASSIFISERTE DØRER (classified sound and fire doors), targeting code-driven specification in commercial and multi-family residential construction. The model is a B2B2C wholesale distribution approach - Scanflex does not sell direct to consumers or contractors, but rather maintains shelf and catalogue presence through Norway's building materials retail channel, where competing on factory finishing, certification, and brand recognition is the primary commercial lever. No financial metrics, revenue figures, or growth rates are publicly disclosed. The company is privately held and has no disclosed funding rounds.
