Stainless steel stockholder Dacapo plans to build a new 7,200m² warehouse at its headquarters in Silkeborg, Denmark. Groundbreaking is expected shortly after the summer holidays, Kallanish hears.
The company so far operates one warehouse for sheet, tubes and bars in Silkeborg, and another one for fittings in Helmond, Netherlands.
In 2025, Dacapo increased its revenue by 9% to DKK 1.57 billion ($240 million) and deliver a positive net profit of DKK32m, three times higher than in 2024. It notes that 2026 has started better than 2025 ended, and is expected to be on par with the strong years seen in 2021 and 2022.
The company highlights availability as one of its key strategies, and it significantly increased its inventory during 2025. “While the industry often focuses on reducing stock toward year-end, we went the other way. In fact, we entered 2026 with the highest inventory level ever,” says Kristian Sylvest, managing director. “Customers do not have time to buy a little here and a little there. They want everything on one truck,” he notes.
Parallel to that, Dacapo has created 15 new positions for sales staff in its countries of activity. Its sales offices are in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Slovakia, Poland and France.
Dacapo will concentrate on a lower number of customers in the future, and has parted ways with the 25% least profitable customers. Meetings in future will take place with concrete agendas with shared goals to be discussed.
“This kind of intelligent sales takes longer to prepare than coffee meetings. As a result, more time is spent on fewer customers, which leads those customers to buy more,” Sylvest explains.
