Long-Standing Supplier Relationships
We value highly our long-lasting relationships with our suppliers, some of them lasting over 40 years. You can find our supplier list here. We manufacture clothes, shoes and equipment in several different countries, China, Vietnam and Bangladesh being thelargest manufacturers of demanding technical products in the sports textile industry.
We’ve found great European suppliers from Italy, Ukraine and Lithuania. We manufacture socks and beanies in Finland. Our quality control team regularly visits the factories to monitor quality and working conditions.
Supplier selection process
We carefully select our suppliers through a structured process. This includes analyzing their profile, certifications, facilities, and equipment. Before starting cooperation, we conduct inspection visits, quality checks, and assess their commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
Partnerships begin with test orders, monitored by our local quality control team, and are followed by regular inspections.
Audited Factories in Risk Countries
All our suppliers in risk countries are audited, and our local team visits them regularly. As a member of amfori BSCI, we require our suppliers to undergo regular, objective, and independent audits conducted by external auditors. While we prefer the BSCI audit system, we also accept other comparable audits to reduce the audit burden on our suppliers.
It is essential for us to ensure that supplier employees work regular hours in safe conditions and receive fair pay. We have zero tolerance for child labor, corruption, or discrimination. Additionally, we aim to improve employees' awareness of their rights and their ability to address any workplace issues.
