VIOS is the market leader in the Netherlands in the field of engineering, production and assembly of series-made custom staircases for residential construction. The company has the most large, medium and small construction companies as customers. VIOS is increasingly involved in the construction process so that the right staircase is installed at the right time and the completion of the house can proceed in time.

In addition to series-produced stairs, VIOS makes exclusive custom-made staircases including carpentry, stair gates and handrails.

In Doetinchem, VIOS has a branch with a showroom where different stairs and finishing levels can be seen.

VIOS not only supplies new stairs, the TrapXpress BV part of Zwolle is a specialist in the supply and installation of step over steps for stairs, directly to the consumer. With the range of high-quality staircase renovation products combined with a team of skilled technicians, the company has grown into an important player in this market.

The Fremeyer handrail factory is also part of the group.

In the past 10 years, VIOS has acquired a leading position in the market through organic growth and through various acquisitions of smaller staircase factories. Due to the increasing demands on construction processes, solid prospects for the number of new-build homes to be delivered and the consumer who expects more and more customization, the company sees ample opportunities for further growth. VIOS is characterized by a pleasant organizational culture with loyal employees with attention to quality and craftsmanship.
