Production of wooden lockers
Our wooden lockers are produced practically in our own backyard: Hardinxveld-Giessendam, the place where Olssen originally started. Here, we manufacture not only standard wooden lockers but also custom-made solutions that perfectly match our customers’ needs. Think of special dimensions, finishes, benches, and accessories. The wall cladding of the lockers is completed on-site.
Residual material (approx. 20%) is not discarded but reused in the production process. This is done through Wood Loop, which tracks how much residual material is returned and how much CO2 is saved as a result.
Thanks to local production, we can respond flexibly to projects of any size.
Delivery time: 4 - 8 weeks
Solid core HPL lockers
The production of our solid core HPL lockers takes place at our factory in North Holland. Solid core HPL is known for its robustness, moisture resistance, and sleek, scratch-resistant finish (for example, with an antibacterial top layer). This makes them ideal for changing rooms in production facilities or hospitals, as well as sports and fitness centers and swimming pools.
Delivery time: 4 - 8 weeks
Production of steel lockers
Our steel lockers are produced at various locations across Europe, with the main production site located in the Eifel region of Germany, just an hour across the border. Steel is durable, strong, and timeless, making it an excellent foundation for lockers that last for many years. All steel used consists of largely recycled base material, free from heavy metals and volatile organic compounds. The powder coating is also 100% solvent-free.
Whether it concerns standard models or custom configurations, we ensure that every project is executed with precision. During the production of our steel lockers, 2 megawatts of solar energy are generated through solar panels.
Depending on the product type and project, delivery times may vary.
Delivery time: 4 - 8 weeks
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
At Olssen, we value transparency and sustainability. That’s why we can, upon request, provide a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for our wooden lockers, steel lockers, solid core HPL lockers, and the Keynius locking system.
An LCA is a comprehensive method used to assess the environmental impact of a product throughout its entire life cycle — from raw material extraction, production, and transport to use and final disposal. This analysis helps organizations make sustainable choices and can also contribute to certifications such as BREEAM or MPG calculations.
BREEAM certification
Our wooden, steel, and HPL lockers are produced within a radius of 400 km. This directly aligns with the requirements of the BREEAM certification (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method).
Specifically, under the category MAT 05 – Responsible Sourcing of Materials, credits can be earned when materials are produced locally. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions from transport and to support the local economy. Thanks to our local production, Olssen lockers actively contribute to the sustainability rating of (office) buildings.
Reuse, recycling and refurbishment
Sustainability doesn’t stop at production. At Olssen, we also make sure that our products can be given a second life.
Waste streams: all production waste is separated and processed so that as much as possible can be recycled.
Recycling: our lockers consist of separate components that can easily be dismantled and recycled. All steel components are 100% recyclable, and 95% of powder coating waste is reused.
Refurbishment: lockers at the end of their lifespan are taken back free of charge. Where possible, they are given a second life through refurbishment, during which parts are replaced or refinished.
Long lifespan: by consistently delivering quality, offering generous warranty and maintenance, and keeping parts available for a long time, we ensure our lockers last for many years.
