What Skindustries does

Skindustries is a Dutch custom mobile application development studio founded in 2012, operating from Venray and Venlo in the Netherlands with approximately 10 employees. The company designs and builds bespoke iOS, Android, and web applications for a diverse client base spanning regional media organizations, festivals and events, manufacturing, healthcare, and tourism across the Netherlands. Its portfolio includes more than 25 completed projects, with named clients including Canon Production Printing, Scheuten, Brightlabs, GSE Technology, Studio040, Omroep Venlo, and Stichting Vierdaagsefeesten (operator of the Netherlands' largest free festival).

The studio's core technical platform is a proprietary "app engine" that synchronizes content between mobile apps and their associated websites, eliminating duplicate content management for editorial teams and supporting consistent cross-platform user experiences. This engine underpins recurring use cases such as regional news apps with live TV/radio streaming and event apps with scheduling and live tracking. Additional technical capabilities include QR/barcode scanning workflows (used in logistics and lab sample tracking), GPS-based audio tour functionality, and a personalized video generation platform (HiepHiep.tv) used for fan engagement and event narrowcasting.

Skindustries operates a project-based, one-time license revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing, sourcing new business primarily through its portfolio website and direct sales-led engagement. The company markets organically via Facebook and Twitter and converts prospects through a quote request form, targeting Dutch organizations seeking custom apps for business process simplification, audience engagement, and brand differentiation. No external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership has been disclosed.
