C&d Snickeri

What C&d Snickeri does

C&D Snickeri AB is a Swedish specialty joinery firm founded in 1988 by Claes Johansson and Daniel Johansson, operating from a single manufacturing facility in Brogårdets industriområde, Falköping. The firm designs, fabricates, and installs bespoke wood interiors, stair and handrail components, and contract-manufactured architectural millwork for architects, corporate clients, educational institutions, museums, retailers, and hospitality operators in Sweden and select international projects. Its technical backbone combines traditional joinery craftsmanship with 3-axis and 5-axis CNC machining (Holzer and Masterwood), TopSolid CAD/CAM programming, spray finishing lines, and FSC-certified (FSC-C157272) material sourcing. The firm holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications.

C&D Snickeri operates a sales-led, project-based business model with custom quotation per commission and no public tiered pricing. Revenue streams comprise Specialinredning (custom interior design and installation), Ledstänger och steg (handrails and stair components), and Legotillverkning (contract manufacturing for other businesses). Clients are acquired primarily through direct relationships with leading Nordic architectural firms — White Arkitekter, 3XN/Tengbom, and Wingårdhs — and through a project portfolio gallery, blog, Finsnickrat newsletter, and Instagram channel. Marquee commissions include the Swedbank Sundbyberg headquarters (45,500 sqm for 2,500 staff), DICE Stockholm HQ (15,000 sqm, named Sweden's Most Beautiful Office 2017), Uppsala University Segerstedtshuset, the Nationalmuseum Stockholm renovation, Fjällräven global brand stores, and Quality Hotel Globe's 6,500-panel auditorium.

The firm is privately held with no disclosed external funding, employs between 11 and 50 people, and is led operationally by Site Manager Emil Carlson, Sales lead Katarina Nilsson, and a permanent bench of constructors, project managers, and master craftspeople including Jonas Kvist, who joined as the firm's second hire in 1989. Recognition includes the Design S - Swedish Design Awards 2020, participation in the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018, the (d)arc awards London 2022, and a November 2024 highest creditworthiness rating. The firm maintains an annual C&D Award scholarship and school partnerships for talent pipeline development.
