Local Design – Global Sourcing

You get easy and quick access to Far East sourced products with MILA as your partner.

We have the structure and scale to offer customers in all our markets access to the benefits of our integrated global sourcing and manufacturing capabilities.

Our operating approach is to design new products in close co-operation with our customers. Throughout the design process, we work closely together with you, as our customer, and our engineering, sourcing and quality teams based in the Far East to identify the most suitable manufacturing partner for your product. All manufacturing partners are approved by our Group to ensure they live up to our high standards for quality and delivery service. They, of course, also all comply with our Group’s ethical rules.

For MILA quality is of the highest priority!
