Orthex Group is the leading Nordic producer of household products that make everyday life easier for the consumer. Since 2000, we have worked together to elevate their design competence.
We have established and increased the stance of design in Orthex’ growing business operations in all levels of the organization. Moreover, we have helped in building design strategy to support growth in international markets.
The strategy work has included defining product portfolio structures and guidelines for product design DNA and the brand of Orthex Group. In addition, we have carried out product development for hundreds of products from concept level definition to the production documents.
Today, the products of Orthex Group reach customers already in 40 countries on four continents. Having three of its own factories enables the company to launch a variety of new products every year.
