Skovby Furniture

Skovby was founded by a talented cabinet maker, Thorvald Rasmussen in 1933. At 23 years old, the young Rasmussen started up his own family business in his mother's little house in Skovby. He was talented, hard working with Thorvald's own tools allowing for small-scale production of quality handmade furniture. In 1943 Thorvald would hire on several apprentices and built an expansion behind his mother's house increased shop space. In 1955 post-war years' rationing was succeeded by a growing demand for long-lasting consumer goods creating a furniture boom in Europe. Joining his father, Villy Rasmussen along with his father beagn turning Skovby into a modern industrial business. The company has expanded several times over the years including a new factory built in Galten.

About Skovby Furniture

About Skovby Furniture

From a tree to a piece of furniture.
Skovby is of course a completed unity of three factories throughout Denmark. But the story about the company's expansion shows that the three factories today each have their own area of specialization. In a way you can say that Skovby, where everything started, today is the supplier to the other two factories in the company. Wood is processed in the original Skovby factory which includes molding, drilling machines and CNC machines.

When the wood has been processed to the right shape, the materials need to be polished. The distinctive feature about the process in Skovby is that it includes polishing by both hand and machine, and polishing by an advanced robot, working day and night. At all stages ongoing quality control is carried out. The idea is that nothing can go on to the next stage before it has been checked and is deemed ok. Anything in fault is fixed on the spot or sent back through the system, - preferably to the previous stage. But in some cases it is obviously unavoidable that some things must be rejected and discarded. That way, waste is avoided wherever possible. This is no surplus production. The idea is simple: 100 units in - 100 units out.

At the factory in Galten the work is primarily done on chipboard, which is laminated with veneered in an advanced and automated veneer press line. Depending on the unit, the veneered board is then fitted with veneer or solid edges that are supplied from the factory in Skovby. In Galten are machine workshops with advanced production equipment, such as drilling machines and double end profiles and not least CNC machines. In the polishing department, the principles are the same as in Skovby as there are machines polishing the units, but a part of the polishing work is done by hand, so that full control is with the individual worker.
