SKEMA

What SKEMA does

SKEMA S.p.A. Unipersonale is an Italian manufacturer of design flooring and wall/ceiling coverings founded in 1992 by Domenico Barabas and headquartered in Ponte di Piave, Treviso. The company operates seven integrated product categories: technical laminate flooring (e.g., K-UNO, Prestige L, Syncro Parquet), SPC flooring (the Star K platform and sub-lines), engineered wood and parquet (Yles, Palladio, Villa, Lumbertech), raised access flooring, wall and ceiling coverings (Tech Wall, Star KW), outdoor WPC decking (Real, Pacto, Compact), and acoustic sound-absorbing panels (Mikro, Akustika). Underlying technologies include proprietary click-lock systems (5G Dry, TLS Plus, PLS), the Sincroporo synchronized surface texture process, Wood Powder reinforcement for engineered wood, Hydro water-resistance treatment, and co-extruded WPC with a polymer outer shell.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales of manufactured flooring and wall products, complemented by professional services (3D design planning, photorealistic rendering, acoustic consulting, project quotation, sample sending, and installer training). SKEMA sells through a multi-channel model: a network of 1,300+ Italian authorized retailers and 100+ international retailers, a direct project division serving commercial and contract customers, and an Express warehouse service for fast-moving SKUs. Target segments include architects and designers, contractors and turnkey project companies, flooring dealers, and residential end customers reached through B2B2C distribution. SKEMA holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, FSC, PEFC, CAM, and low-VOC certifications, enabling it to bid on Italian public-sector contracts, and is a member of the UN Global Compact.
