This involves work in advance such as research, selection and monitoring of suppliers in order to establish long-term partnerships.
Delivering faultless quality products in total compliance with regulatory requirements is our priority. This is why we carry out a mandatory approval process before working with any new factory. This first key stage enables us to guarantee that every product put on the market complies both in terms of regulations and quality.
