Stepup Octo ApS has announced a new partnership with Danish scaffolding specialist SST ApS to widen access to its OCTO scaffolding system across Denmark.

Under the agreement, SST will supply Stepup OCTO equipment for both resale and hire. The deal gives Danish contractors a local route to the system, backed by SST’s market knowledge and customer base.

SST was founded in 2009 and has built its business around scaffolding sector supply and support. By adding OCTO to its range, the company said it aims to give customers wider access to a flexible system with local service behind it.

Stepup said the agreement forms part of its wider European growth plans. The two businesses will work together on sales, leasing and customer account development in Denmark.

The companies said demand for higher-performance scaffolding systems in Denmark is rising as contractors place more focus on efficiency, safety and reliable supply.

Stepup and SST are also investing in production planning, stock availability and operational capacity. The aim is to improve delivery performance and reduce the risk of supply delays.

The release said expanded investment will increase warehouse and service capacity during 2026, giving Danish customers more consistent product availability.

Stepup also plans to introduce its own RINGLOCK product range to the Danish market. The move would give customers access to a wider product range from the same supply base.

Mike McAnnally, CEO of Stepup, said the agreement would help strengthen the OCTO platform in Denmark.

“By working with SST, we can support customers more closely, respond faster to market needs and create the right conditions for continued growth,” he said.

Nicholas Morgan, Managing Director UK & Europe, said the collaboration would help Stepup serve Danish customers with reliable supply and a clear long-term commitment.

“It also supports our wider strategy to expand Stepup’s presence across key European markets,” he said.

The move is another sign of manufacturers and suppliers placing more weight on local stock, hire availability and country-level support as European contractors look for more certainty in system scaffold supply.
