Our goal is to combine the Nepali work culture with Scandinavian work culture

Our goal is to combine the Nepali work culture with Scandinavian work culture, as we now offer a more flexible way of working where workers can work from home, in order for them to provide a home for their family and take care of their children at the same time. In this way we expand our production capacity, and we have the capability to employ and help a larger group of Nepali citizens. For instance, all the workers have been offered a bike for travelling to work. We are very proud of this initiative as it improves the health of our workers and is good for the environment. Our vision is to better their life conditions as much as we can. Due to the development of our company, it’s with the greatest of pleasures that we can continue our journey to help improve the conditions for our workers in Nepal.
