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 .
