Partnership Several manufacturers are very involved and concerned with cutting costs and switching suppliers in diverse regions to find the lowest bidder; we, on the other hand consistently opt for promoting local production and long-term partnerships. Predominantly changing the components of our supply chain will inevitably lead to differences in characteristics and quality of our product, which we strongly try to avoid. Our interest lies in sustaining and improving our manufacturing standards for the foreseeable future. To this end, we maintain a stable and diverse base of experienced suppliers. Solid partnership
in our terms reflects responsibility. Our reputation stands out and this signifies to our customers that our products will be delivered with the highest of quality, moreover, our name obliges us to guarantee the quality of our production and end product which is why we take an active interest in all of our production sites, providing consistent advice, support and encouragement to all our suppliers. Our knowledge and decades of experience, helps us and our suppliers in building an efficient and reliable supply chain.
