An invaluable value chain
The purpose of the Kinnarps AB Group’s business model and value chain
is to understand and fulfil the needs of businesses and organisations for
interior design solutions with associated services.
01 DESIGN
When we design and develop products, we set high
function and quality requirements. We work hard
to take all factors affecting sustainability into account
as early as possible in the development process,
such as pure materials, as little waste as possible and
an optimised use of resources. We design products
with a platform approach that gives the product
the flexibility to be renewed and changed over time.
02 RAW MATERIALS
When purchasing raw materials, components and
finished products, it’s important to us that they
come from sustainable sources and are produced
under good social conditions. We therefore set high
standards for both our suppliers and the products
supplied. The Kinnarps AB Group has a common
Code of Conduct covering social responsibility, which
we also follow up through on-site risk assessments
and audits at our suppliers’ production facilities.
03 SALES
We help our clients to analyse both their existing
and future needs, in order to create business
adapted spaces that promote health and efficiency. A
business adapted interior design solution furnished
with flexible and multifunctional products is a long-
term investment that can be adapted to changing
at a relatively low cost.
Making the right purchase from the start is an
important part of reducing your environmental impact.
We are a total interior solution provider and help our
clients to implement their interior design solution with
the help of products from the Group and our partners.
04 MANUFACTURING
We manufacture on the basis of client orders, which
means that we only manufacture what is actually in
demand and avoid creating large stocks of products.
When manufacturing our products, avoiding eco-
hazardous and harmful substances is important to us.
We do this not only to ensure a good working
environment in our six manufacturing units, but also
to create healthy workspaces at our clients’ premises.
We make continuous efforts to improve our use of
resources by optimising the consumption of materials,
reducing waste, and utilising leftover materials.
05 DISTRIBUTION
We have our own logistics system that delivers
products from all our brands directly to clients. When
we pack our products, we use blankets and cardboard
sheets that we take away with us for reuse. This means
that we save packaging and have space for 50%
more furniture per shipment. Our trucks also run on
renewable diesel to further reduce our climate impact.
06 USE AND REUSE
It’s important to us to design products that last
a long time. That’s why we place great emphasis
on high quality, and the ability to update or refurbish
a product in order to extend its lifespan.
We offer a range of services to help our clients keep
their interior design attractive for longer and change it
as necessary. Our furniture washing and maintenance
services keep the interior design in good condition,
while our renovation and updating services mean the
furniture can be repaired, customised to new needs
or given a new look.
