Visit to suppliers in Asia
During the spring, two of our colleagues carried out a supplier visit to Vietnam and China – an important part of Pretec’s ongoing work to ensure high quality, strengthened competitiveness, and sustainability throughout our entire supply chain.
The trip included several factory visits to both existing suppliers and potential new partners. The purpose of these visits was to evaluate production capacity, technical standards, sustainability, working conditions, and future compliance with European regulations.
Sustainability requirements and upcoming regulations
Even though Pretec is not currently covered by the EU’s upcoming Omnibus proposal, we have chosen to work proactively with these issues. Our goal is to stay one step ahead by preparing both ourselves and our suppliers for the increasing requirements to come.
During the visits, particular focus was placed on:
- Inform suppliers about upcoming anti-dumping duties and reporting requirements related to CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism).
- Build understanding of the importance of traceability and transparency throughout the value chain.
- Identify areas for improvement within production and quality systems.
- Discuss actions and future requirements linked to key conditions from the Swedish and European markets.

Long-term relationships and strategic supplier development
Our role as a partner is not only to set requirements – we also see ourselves as an active part of our suppliers’ development. Through close collaboration, we can share insights into what is needed to remain competitive and relevant in the Swedish and European markets in the years ahead.
It’s about meeting today’s needs while preparing for the future. Through our regular visits and ongoing dialogue with producers, we’re building the foundation for long-term, sustainable, and stable supplier relationships.
