The combination of our two different nationalities (Thai/Danish) contributes to an efficient communication with our Danish / European agents and fast access to our local network of producers for the selected business areas.
The characteristics for our partners in the network are that they can produce even small quantities but at a high quality level. Based on our now close to 13 years of experience we mainly concentrate working with companies only that can meet the high demands from the EU rules and regulations.
In May 2006 we changed our business set up in Scandinavia and entered into various agreements having one agent/company per product group importing and selling to the markets. This is a natural consequence of the rapid changes in market patterns and due to the crises in 2009 we are still adjusting our platform to meet the new challenges.
Effective from January 2008 we divided our activities in two major groups, one being sales to Europe under the Brand Name:
The Management Consulting activity under the Company Name:
(actually established back in 1962 in Denmark) 100% managed by Ole Casthoej.

Our Background
Nitta Chaipong-Casthoej has two Bachelor degrees one in History and one in Psychology. She has 15 years experience operating her own business and she has deep insight in the Western culture and mentality.

Ole Casthoej has previously hold positions as director of Finance in the KAMPSAX Group and in the Christiani & Nielsen Group. Ole has worked several years in the Middle East and Far East and has considerable experience from working in other countries as well. Before the establishment of Chaipong Products he was the CEO of an American Company providing management services within the region.
Our Business Policies
We consider ourselves, as businesses partner not only a supplier in the sometimes-complicated process to source products in the Far East. It can be tempting to buy at low prices, but there are many pitfalls and they can cost exceedingly. So we work at the same time as advisor for our customer as well for the local producer and we consider both of equal importance in order to be successful. We have today a considerable amount of know-how about the local possibilities and the production facilities and we are therefore able to advice very fast and efficient at the same time.
We provide the best possible service to all parties involved and we have very stringent attitudes toward ethics and as a consequence we do not partake in fabrication of copy products and we never deal with local companies if they cannot document that they do not employ children as working power.
In the light of the latest scandals in the East where large brand name companies buy products from local factories employing mainly kids, who hardly get paid and work 12 hours daily, and then sell the products at sky high prices we are now implementing a set of CODE OF CONDUCT a demand raised by many of our customers.
