In-house production 

From incontinence products and baby diapers to household essentials and absorbent solutions, every product is designed to perform.

 

High-quality products made in-house

Since 1980, when we opened our first production facility, we have combined innovation, craftsmanship, and responsibility. The result is reliable absorbent products that make everyday life easier for the users.

With our own production facilities in Denmark, Sweden, and France, we control every step – from raw material selection to final delivery. This means you get quality absorbent products with consistent performance, reliable documentation, and fast supply.

Because every detail matters, we use responsibly sourced materials, optimize our energy use, and follow strict quality standards. That gives you safe, reliable products you can trust, every time. 

Our goal is simple: We want to give you smart, responsible solutions that perform, protect, and help you meet your goals with confidence.

Innovation you can count on

Innovation is built into how we produce and package our products.

Products that perform better, waste less, and fit real-life needs.

Our in-house R&D team works closely with our production specialists to test new ideas, automate workflows, and apply smarter solutions. One example is our optimized palletizing setup, which enabled us to ship the same volume using 80 fewer containers for one of our customers.

We invest in new technology like high-speed robotics, in-house quality control, and digital production planning to deliver greater precision, flexibility, and consistency.

Shaping the future of incontinence care

We are co-developing a circular diaper system that aims to cut approx. half of the CO₂ emissions related to diaper production and consumption in Denmark. If rolled out across Europe, the concept could eliminate over 1 million tons of CO₂e every year - while also improving care and working conditions.

We select raw materials with care. We manufacture with precision. We monitor every step with strict internal controls and independent audits. This way you can rely on safe, high-performing products every time.

Every third-party certificate we receive is a mark of quality you can rely on. It is your assurance of quality, compliance, and continuous improvement, verified by trusted industry experts.

Production with respect for the environment

We take responsibility for the impact of our production. From reducing CO₂ emissions to cutting waste and choosing better materials, we work continuously to make our processes safer, smarter, and more responsible.

Recycling production waste to new purposes

We are dedicated to minimizing waste produced by our production operations and valuable collaborations with external partners. Our leftover incontinence materials are resold to suppliers, who use them to make new products. Our plastic packaging waste is made into pallets for the aviation industry.

Nordic Swan Ecolabel

In 1998, we became the first manufacturer of baby diapers in the world to achieve the Nordic Swan Ecolabel. The Nordic Swan Ecolabel evaluates the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle. Today, you will find the Nordic Swan Ecolabel on many of our products within different categories.
