ScaffChamp will return to Vilnius in 2027 after Layher confirmed the global scaffolding competition will again be held in Lithuania next year.
The event will take place at Layher Baltic’s headquarters in Vilnius, continuing a run of competitions that has brought teams from across Europe and further afield to the city.
The decision settles questions over the future of ScaffChamp after changes within the event’s previous organising team.
Layher Baltic general manager Andrius Mikenas told Scaffmag that approval had now been given by Layher’s headquarters in Germany for the competition to continue in Vilnius.
“ScaffChamp has become a symbol of professional excellence in our industry,” he said.
“We are proud to host the championship again in Vilnius and continue strengthening the scaffolding community across Europe and beyond.”
Mik?nas said Layher Baltic is now putting together a project team for the 2027 event, with support expected from Layher’s wider group.
He said the competition would continue in its familiar format, while organisers are also looking at ways to develop the event further.
ScaffChamp has become one of the largest international competitions in the scaffolding calendar. Teams race to complete a demanding scaffold build, with judges assessing build quality, safety and penalties alongside speed.
The 2026 event saw 19 teams compete in Vilnius, with RNDV taking the title by a single second from Bilfinger.
Details on the 2027 date, team registration, event schedule and partner opportunities are expected to follow through ScaffChamp’s official channels.
