Quality
Quality is one of our core values and a cornerstone of our business. Many choose NewTracks because we have better prices, but customers often report that our products have a higher finish and better quality than they experience from other suppliers. To ensure that our products always live up to expectations, we have a close and ongoing dialogue with our customers and suppliers. This involves understanding the customer's specifications and needs, while continuously adapting and improving our processes.
Quality control
We have a dedicated quality team in China that inspects and tests every production batch before the products are shipped to Norway. This ensures that all products are of high standard and ready for use. Our quality controls include:
-
Control measurement of dimensions and tolerances to ensure that the product complies with specifications.
-
Hardness measurement of materials such as wheels and metals to guarantee wear resistance and durability.
-
Testing of surface treatments, such as anodizing, to verify the correct thickness and protection.
-
Documentation through detailed quality reports sent to the customer.
Quality Made in China
The term "Made in China" has long been associated with low-cost production, but the reality is that Chinese factories today can deliver products of higher quality than many other places in the world. With advanced manufacturing technology, high precision and long experience in manufacturing, China is a world leader in many product categories.
Better finish and higher quality
At NewTracks, we have developed the term "Quality Made in China" – a conscious focus on delivering high-quality products from China that exceed expectations. Feedback from customers shows that our products often have a better finish and higher quality than they experience from other suppliers. We achieve this through close monitoring of production, strict quality requirements and our dedicated team at the factory.
Good control
For us, quality is not just about the end product, but about the entire process – from material selection and production methods to testing, documentation and delivery. We believe that good quality starts with good control, and our goal is to show that Chinese production can be synonymous with world-class quality.
Social responsibility
For us at NewTracks, social responsibility is about putting the people behind our products in focus. We work to ensure safe and fair working conditions, respect and dignity throughout the value chain – from the extraction of raw materials to the factory floor in China and our office in Norway. Here are a few examples of what we demand and consider from our suppliers to ensure good working conditions:

For us, equality is about equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for everyone. We have zero tolerance for discrimination and work for an inclusive and safe working environment where everyone is treated with respect.
