Long-term business relationships with production facilities are very important to Halti. Achieving sustainable development is a collaboration, and almost all partnerships with production facilities have been long, some even more than 40 years.

We manufacture clothes, shoes and equipment in several different countries. Over the years, China has become the largest manufacturer of demanding technical products in the sports textile industry. Some of our production is also done in European countries. We manufacture socks and beanies in Finland. We have a quality control team that regularly visits factories to gain knowledge and insight into how and under what conditions our products are made. We publish a list of suppliers, where we tell you where each of our product groups are manufactured and how long our cooperation has lasted.

We choose our suppliers and partners carefully, and we do it through an established process. First, we analyze the profile, customer base and certifications of a potential supplier company. We perform a capability analysis based on the supplier's own and external evaluations. We analyze their premises and equipment. Before we start the cooperation, we still carry out inspection visits, quality inspections and pay attention to the realization of social responsibility at the factory. The cooperation starts with test orders, which are monitored by our local quality control team. We monitor our partner's activities and carry out inspections regularly.
