ScanCom International Close: Where to Source Now (2026)

ScanCom International A/S announced its closure on March 2, 2026. If you sourced outdoor furniture from ScanCom, here are 3 verified Vietnam alternatives. Primo Sourcing helps you migrate your SKUs to them.

Why did ScanCom International close in March 2026?

ScanCom International A/S is part of the Lars Larsen Group (Brunsborg family, JYSK heritage). The company announced its closure on March 2, 2026 after a failed two-year turnaround. The Copenhagen-headquartered outdoor furniture specialist cited post-COVID market volatility, declining turnover, and cost pressure.

Key facts:

• Founded: Korsør, Denmark, 1995 by Bøje Bendtzen
• Acquired: 100% by Lars Larsen Group in 2019
• Vietnam sites: Song Than (Di An, Binh Duong) and Long Giang (Mekong Delta, aluminum + solar-powered, inaugurated May 2, 2022)
• Other operations: Brazil (eucalyptus via ScanCom do Brasil), Indonesia, Germany, UK, Spain
• Brands: LifestyleGarden®, DuraOcean®, Sunlace, Nassau, Petan®, DuraBoard®
• Workforce: 2,300+ jobs lost per Børsen ; 5,000+ pre-COVID across 50 countries
• Financials: revenue DKK 861M in 2023/24, EBIT –172M
• Customer protection: ScanCom committed to honoring existing orders during the controlled wind-down

Early warning signal: ScanCom UK and LifestyleGarden UK already closed on August 31, 2025, shutting the Basildon distribution center. A November 2025 “extensive transformation” announced 3 months before the final shutdown failed to deliver results.

If you had a confirmed order, ScanCom expects to fulfill it. New orders are not being accepted. Your priority now is to secure a replacement supplier before peak Q2-Q3 2026 outdoor season demand hits Vietnam’s factory floors.

ScanCom contracts varied on design IP. Some clients held the rights, others worked on ScanCom proprietary designs. Check your contract before sending technical drawings to a new factory.

How can Primo Sourcing help you after the closing of ScanCom?

Primo is a sourcing agency based in Ho Chi Minh City, not a factory. We don’t manufacture furniture. We connect you with verified Vietnam factories, run audits, validate samples, and manage QC on your behalf.

Outdoor wooden furniture under HS 9403.60 is not subject to Section 232 (effective October 14, 2025). Your outdoor SKUs face the 20% US-Vietnam reciprocal tariff (since August 2025), same as any other Vietnamese furniture. EU buyers benefit from Vietnam’s low-risk EUDR classification (May 2025).

Replacing ScanCom is not a 1-to-1 factory swap. ScanCom built 30 years of design heritage, mixed-material expertise, and EU compliance. No single Vietnamese factory replicates that exact stack out of the box. The right approach is to split your outdoor catalog across 2 or 3 specialists.

What we do:

• Map your SKUs to the right factory tier (Phu Tai for volume, Hiep Long for premium teak, ATC for mixed-material wicker)
• Run on-site audits of shortlisted factories before any production commitment
• Validate golden samples against your ScanCom reference pieces (we work directly with your QC team)
• Negotiate FOB pricing with transparent cost breakdowns (no hidden commission)
• Manage multi-stage QC during production, pre-shipment inspection, and container loading
• Handle Cat Lai port logistics including the June 2025 documentation rules and Tet shutdown planning

We charge a transparent flat fee for sourcing, audits, and QC management. No commission on factory invoices. Most clients see 15 to 30% savings vs equivalent Chinese production, which more than covers migration costs within 1 to 2 containers.

Typical migration timeline:

You can have your first replacement container shipped within 30 to 60 days of engaging Primo, depending on SKU complexity and factory production calendar.
