Step 01 of 03 · Understand the problemThe status quo
You already know Asia is cheaper.
The problem is getting there safely.
Three things stand between Scandinavian builders and factory-direct prices. They aren't price, language or distance — they're trust, accountability and time. We remove all three, in writing, before you pay anything but a small deposit.
01
The markup problem
European distributors layer 40–60% margin on top of the factory price. You're paying for a chain of middlemen you never see.
02
The trust problem
Sourcing direct means language barriers, unverified suppliers, and quality risk. One bad experience puts most firms off for good. The idea isn't wrong — the execution is hard.
03
The time problem
Vetting factories, checking certificates, managing freight and customs — it's a full-time job. You have projects to deliver.
The factory you'd never visit alone.
Documented · Audited · Accountable
They sent an inspector to the factory before we wired the balance. First time I've actually felt safe buying from China.

Step 02 of 03 · See how we handle the riskHow we handle the risk for you
Four checkpoints between you and a bad outcome.
The right question isn't "is this cheaper?" — it's "what stops this from going wrong?" Here is exactly what does.
01
Never 100% upfront
A small deposit secures the order. The balance is wired only after independent inspection — never before. For larger orders we use escrow or a Letter of Credit through your Swedish bank.
02
Third-party inspection before shipping
SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek inspect every order at the factory before goods leave the port. You receive photo report, dimensional checks and certificate audit before releasing payment.
03
CE documentation in your hands first
Declarations of Performance, mill certificates, EN test reports — all delivered, verified against issuing bodies, and signed off before final settlement. No paperwork, no payment.
04
Swedish contract, Swedish jurisdiction
Every engagement is governed by a written agreement under Swedish jurisdiction with Gothenburg as venue for any dispute. If something goes wrong, you deal with us in Sweden — not a factory in Foshan.
A copy of our standard supply agreement is available on request before any commercial discussion.
Field audits
We were there.
Here's the proof.
Every supplier on our roster has been walked, photographed and audited in person. No sales offices, no brokers in between.

Vi bygger på två premisser: kinesiska fabriker kan, och nordiska entreprenörer förtjänar att veta vad de betalar för.
Our job is to make the supply chain boring — predictable, documented, accountable.

Jag har sett för många projekt drabbas av mellanhänder som inte tar ansvar. Vi gör det motsatta.
Direct factory relationships with the right people — that's the only edge that lasts.
