How We Work

Ultimate Nordic is a leading distributor of well-known brands in Norway and Sweden. Our headquarters are located in Oslo, but we have sales offices in both Horten and Solna in Sweden. As a subsidiary of Dalema Group, we are also part of a larger international trading company with many operations around the world.

At Ultimate Nordic, we work both directly with manufacturers and through various international brands that are responsible for their own production. Where Ultimate itself produces goods in Asia, we have, through our sister company Opal East Trading Ltd, four production offices that oversee production on behalf of the company. The production offices have direct contact with the various manufacturers and work closely with our purchasers to monitor production, logistics, quality requirements, and manufacturing conditions.

In several of the markets we operate, there is unfortunately a risk of violations of human and labor rights. We at Ultimate Nordic, therefore, have a great responsibility to ensure that our production is conducted properly, both out of regard for people, society, and the environment. In our efforts to act responsibly, we have therefore developed our own guidelines that all our employees must know and work by.

To clarify our attitudes towards suppliers, we also have ethical guidelines that all our partners must sign and follow. Ultimate Nordic follows the group's guidelines for ethical trade, which are also part of our purchasing agreements with suppliers. These guidelines are based on internationally recognized UN and ILO conventions and set minimum, not maximum, standards. Legislation at the production site must be respected. Where national laws and regulations cover the same topics as these guidelines, the highest standard shall apply.
