We have our own factory because we want to build a better supply chain. We are passionate about the production process, the people involved and simply creating world class quality functional products. By basing ourselves in central Europe close to the majority of our customers it helps us meet our sustainability goals, by reducing shipping and just as importantly avoiding the waste of over-production.
