What SKOR does
SKOR (legal entity DSC B.V.) is a Dutch manufacturer and supplier of aluminum-based sports facility equipment, headquartered in Almelo, Overijssel, Netherlands. Founded in 2001 as ERMA Uitbesteding by Marcel Schorn and Erwin Schorn, the company pivoted from a general outsourcing intermediary into sports equipment in 2003, rebranded to SKOR in 2017, and has held Benelux market leadership since 2010. The company operates a fully verticalized in-house production model encompassing aluminum extrusion, welding, fabrication, finishing, assembly, and professional installation, all housed on a single 10,000 m² site with a 180,000 kWh/year solar installation.
SKOR's product portfolio is anchored in football equipment — aluminum goals (fixed, portable, folding, 360° professional ComFix models), custom stadium dugouts (with polycarbonate cladding, club-branded business seats, and modular configurations), and custom stadium seating — and extends into hockey goals, tennis nets, handball, korfball, baseball/softball, urban sports (3x3 basketball, calisthenics, sport containers), outdoor fitness, athletics, and beach sports. Notable proprietary items include the ComFix aluminum profile used in 360° training goals and the registered Infill Guard kantplanksysteem for artificial-turf infill containment. Products conform to standards set by KNVB, FIFA, KNBSB, KNLTB, and EN 16630:2015.
The business operates a hybrid B2B go-to-market combining a direct field-sales force with account-manager programs (notably 'Vriend van SKOR' for clubs), an e-commerce storefront at skor.nl for accessories and smaller items, and bundled installation services delivered by SKOR's own technicians. Revenue is generated primarily from one-time hardware sales supplemented by professional services (assembly, installation, consultation, custom design, project management); large custom projects such as stadium dugouts and Olympic-grade goals are priced on a quote basis. Customers include Dutch and Belgian professional football clubs (Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, AZ, FC Twente, STVV, KRC Genk), amateur clubs, the KNVB national training campus, municipalities (Gemeente Amsterdam, Gemeente Den Haag), and contractors. In 2020 SKOR supplied 12 hockey goals for the Tokyo Olympic Games, and in 2023 management stated ambition to position the brand beyond the Benelux as a worldwide sport brand.
