Honesty
Skovby furniture is made from natural materials, selected with consideration and respect for nature, the environment, and people.
Wood is one of the most sustainable and lasting resources that exist. Sustainable forests in Europe and North America are increasing. Wood that we obtain from such forests is replaced, supporting ecosystem diversity preservation. Our excess wood is used as fuel. All wood chips and shavings are utilized to heat our premises, contributing to a positive carbon-dioxide accounting and making up a valuable resource in our pursuit of carbon-neutral production.
A healthy work environment where employees are supported, thrive, and wish to stay for many years allows us to develop products that match our high-quality requirements. Skovby is happy and proud to be celebrating many 25- and 40-year employee anniversaries.
As a member of the Danish Furnituremakers' Quality Control, Skovby is part of an exclusive network of 17 Danish furniture companies, which invest time and resources to push the agenda on sustainable operations, to be equipped to handle the highest standards and requirements for durability and to secure skilled labor in the future.
Innovation
It pays to design, construct and produce furniture within the same physical environment. By doing so, we achieve cohesion contributing to a sustainable business model. This is good for our business, environment, and people.
By keeping all production under one roof, we achieve strong involvement and a broad representation of interdisciplinary competencies among our employees, from an initial idea to a finished product. Our products
are developed through close interaction between cabinetmakers, technicians, and the company architect. And together, they pursue to reach new heights with multifunctional and lasting designs.
The road from raw materials to production is short. Raw materials are transported efficiently between locations to and during production. Many raw materials are from neighboring areas – everything available locally is obtained and employed locally.
