Everything is not perfect. Sometimes we identify non-compliance to what we expect from our supplies. If we discover findings, we prefer to develop an action plan in order to bring the supplier back to an acceptable standard, rather than to stop our cooperation with that supplier. By such means, New Wave Group can achieve the highest compliance levels while contributing to social development in countries of production.
That is taking responsibility in our perspective.
IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION New Wave Group owns a few factories. In Sweden, our brand SEGER has its production for knitted items, like when the business started in 1947. In the Netherlands, Toppoint has printing operations for pens and mugs and in Denmark, our subsidiary Dahetra owns a production facility for embroidery and transfer printing. In the U. S., AHEAD and Cutter & Buck have embroidery production and Paris Glove has a production unit for gloves.
Our glassworks in Kosta is Sweden’ s oldest still operating glassworks. The furnaces have been lit since 1742. We welcome you to witness a genuine Swedish handicraft. All year round you
SEGER is a leading supplier of knitted hats and socks. With leftovers of raw material, the factory produced 200 knitted caps which were donated to the City Mission of Stockholm – a good combination of heart and sustainability.
could follow the production of KOSTA BODA products; from the melting of the glass to glassblowing, cutting and painting.
In-house production means direct influence, which gives us better opportunities to work hands on with sustainability. The entire Kosta-production chain has been ISO-certified for quality and environmental management. Waste heat from the glassworks is delivered to the community’ s district heating network and in 2007 and 2008 we replaced heating oil with biofuel-based district heating, which resulted in a 1 700 tonne reduction of CO2 emissions. Orrefors Kosta Boda has also been awarded for best industrial environmental work.
