IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION
New Wave Group owns a few production units. In-house production has the benefit of direct influence,
which gives us even better opportunities to work with sustainability.
SEGER
Seger has its knitting factory in Röshult where the production has been based since the company was founded in 1947.
During 2017, Seger completely switched to energy from wind power in the production, which brings us one step close r to
a green manufacturing plant in Sweden.
The work to recycle and reduce waste is an on-going part of the daily environmental efforts. For example, with leftovers of raw material,
Seger produced 200 knitted caps which were donated to the City Mission of Stockholm – sustainability at its best.
ORREFORS KOSTA BODA
The glasswork in Kosta supplies Orrefors and Kosta Boda with premium utility and art glass. Kosta is Sweden’s oldest
still operating glasswork. The furnaces have been lit since 1742.
Orrefors Kosta Boda has been working actively with environmental questions since the 1970s. For example, the entire
production chain in Kosta is ISO-certified for quality and environmental management. Waste heat from the glassworks
is delivered to the community’s district heating network. In 2007 and 2008, we replaced heating oil with biofuel-based
district heating, which resulted in a 1 700 ton reduction of CO 2 emissions.
OTHER COUNTRIES
In the Netherlands, Toppoint has a printing unit for pens and mugs and in Denmark, our subsidiary Dahetra owns a facility for
embroidery and transfer printing. A similar embroidery unit can be found in the U.S where we have our subsidiaries Paris Gloves and
Cutter & Buck.
