Where quality meets responsibility

At Fristads, quality work doesn’t end with materials and design – it is safeguarded throughout the entire production process. With a dedicated office in Hongkong and our own quality controllers across Asia, we ensure that every garment lives up to our high standards. The quality team works directly with our suppliers, monitoring not only product quality but also compliance with social and environmental sustainability standards. The result? Garments that not only last on the job but are produced responsibly, in line with our values and commitments.

Office in hongkong

Our Hongkong office acts as a hub, coordinating sourcing, planning and sustainability efforts while maintaining close ties to both suppliers in Asia and the headquarters in Sweden. This setup gives us the advantage of being close to production, making it easier to provide training, support and follow-up.

​​​​​​​The office team and quality controllers work together to make sure our suppliers are up to date with evolving regulations, due diligence requirements and our Code of Conduct.

Team of quality controllers

Fristads’ quality controllers work in several Asian countries where our garments, fabrics and trims are produced. They check material properties, technical specifications and seams throughout the production process, helping to minimise deviations before products are shipped. Each shipment is inspected before departure and may also undergo random controls after arrival to our warehouse in Sweden – a safeguard to catch any deviations before garments reach the end user.

Working with our partners​​​​​​​

Maintaining high quality is not just about inspections. It is also about collaborating closely with our strategic partners to ensure that they understand our strict quality standards. As a complement to our own quality controllers, the suppliers are also actively involved in the quality inspection process on site. This shared ownership strengthens accountability and reduces deviations before the products leave the factory.
