KORI began as a groundbreaking innovation for motorcyclists, a vision of perfect freedom and uncompromised safety.
Today, we are growing into a brand with genuinely developed products with high Swedish made quality and we have
taken our vision of freedom and safety to meet sports enthusiasts with different specializations that and likeminded needs.

For us it is the feeling and experience of the sport or activity that sets focus on which needs to be solved and how
the products should be designed.

Our first product, KORI-D3O which is a new concept of back protectors that can be transformed into a back pack.
In this blog you will follow our journey and our inspirations.

KORI Encouraging Freedom. Encouraging Safety.

Thinking about the disaster in Bangladesh...


textile industry bangladesh

We're talking about that we manufacture our products in Sweden "with the environment impact and the living standards that we feel that we can stand for", and this may appear to be empty words but it is just examples like these that made us take this decision, the disaster in Bangladesh where over 1,100 textile workers lost their lives.. who would want to stand for that ..
We feel that we are too small to make the kind of demands that would give us full control of what happens in a factory on the other side of the globe, in a culture that we can not compare ourselves with and with a standard of living that makes these conditions considered to be ok ...
What is interesting in this discussion is that not even major companies, global companies such as H&M proves to have the strength (or desire) to achieve full control and take responsibility for their factories ...
When we want to visit our factory here in Sweden so we jump into the car and a few hours later, we sit and have a coffee discussing the production. It is an incredible security and a comfort, not the least that we feel safe with the laws and regulations in Sweden, but also our communication and close contact with production managers and seamstresses the credibility that we want to make us proud of our production and products!
Yes, our prices are higher than our competitors - but we also make sure to fill our products with a user value and a functional value that matches our pricing. In addition to this value, one should not extenuate the security of buying a product that is made with a standard of living that allows our factory workers to go to work each day without having to be concerned, either for themselves, their colleagues or their families.

KORI Hermine Made in Sweden


The making of a beanie may seem like a simple task. But a beanie with a nice sense of material, comfortable fit and consistent quality is not as easy as one  might think. Those who work with the yarns, the knitting machine and the sewing needs to know the different materials and their required fabrication. They need to know how they can meet the customers' requirements. They also need to pay attention and be responsive to possible complications. At last and of course - they should always have the desire to develope for the better. We are pleased that we have found a supplier that meets all these requirements on production and cooperation that we have on KORI. Here is a peek from the production of our new winter beanoe KORI Hermine:

Moving forward..

kori advisory board in discussion about the future.
KORI's advisory board in discussion for the future! Mats Ögren, Johan Ulriksson, Per-Arne Stenlund.

If you might have missed it - KORI is right in a shift where we go from preparing and production into action.

Today I had our first meeting with the KORI advisory board.

These meeting makes me think about who I am and how I came to be here.. How does it come that three intelligent persons with an impressive portfolio takes their time to sit with me and giving 100% focus to my company – my KORI.

During 2 hours we talked about ourselves, who we are and who we were. They spoke about their experience and I spoke about my inexperience. We spoke about KORI who we are and where we would like to be. This was only the first meeting. It felt great and I look forward to be working with them.

They will speak about success and mistakes while I will speak about vision and values.

I admire them and I am thankful for having the chance to get to know them.

Savior...

On a Thursday afternoon in late May 2010. After the late notification of defection from a sewing industry in Mjölby, we contacted Veronica Broman on Moberg's Factory for a request to save us out of the situation and develop our first prototype.


The day after we met at the factory in Anderstorp, Smaland.
Barely two weeks later, we got to see this first test.

Many thanks to Veronica and Moberg for saving us from that situation.
