Kentaur visits Supply Chain in China
Kentaur visits Supply Chain in China
For us, it is important to know our supply chain. All the way down to the raw material producers. Not just from afar, but also in person.
That's why our Sustainability and Compliance Specialist, Katja, and our Textile and Sustainability Specialist, Line, visited our suppliers in China last autumn.
The goal was clear. To gain a better understanding of our supply chain, strengthen collaborations, and, most importantly, ensure our supply chain due diligence work.
We visited dye houses, weaving mills, spinning mills, and material manufacturers of recycled polyester, elastane, and cotton.
Line & Katja: "It's great for us to meet our suppliers in their world and everyday lives. By meeting in person, we get to know each other better, which makes communication much easier afterward. Seeing the production process gives us a better understanding of how it works in practice. It's also reassuring to see that the documentation and certificates match reality, so we can confidently say that we have our supply chain under control."
Katja and Line also visited several potential dye houses to find new partners.
Line & Katja: "It was nice to have the opportunity to see the dye houses for ourselves and assess whether they meet our standards and expectations. This way, we could better find a dye house that fits Kentaur."
At Kentaur, we are very grateful for the hospitality we experienced. At work.
