Executive summary

A Värmland smokehouse running cold-smoked and gravlax lines out of Hammarö, supplying Nordic retail and food service since 1998. Thirty-nine requirements were read against the brief: capability, finance and legal clear in full, and quality clears on every requirement but one. Two cold-smoke tunnels give 40 tonnes a week against the 12 asked for, and the second tunnel commissioned in 2023 is what carries the Q4 peak. BRCGS Food Safety at grade AA, MSC and ASC chain of custody were each confirmed against the issuing registry rather than read off the supplier site. Financially they are the strongest name on the shortlist: a 46% equity ratio, a 6.4% net margin and four consecutive years of growth, on a Creditsafe A up from B with no payment remarks in thirty-six months. Two delivery requirements covering Benelux transit and overflow capacity sit with a reviewer, and the two sustainability requirements nothing could evidence have gone to the supplier as an RFI.

ESG & Sustainability

Environment

Partly verified

ISO 14001 certified since 2016 and verified against the issuing registry, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions reported and third-party assured for FY2024 at a 31% reduction against a 2019 baseline. Heat recovery from the smoke tunnels covers a reported 40% of site heating, and the 2023 refit moved both tunnels onto electric generation. Scope 3 is not reported, so emissions from inbound feed and from distribution sit outside everything above and have been asked for in the RFI.

Social

Verified

Collective agreement in place through Livsmedelsföretagen covering all 68 employees, with no labour disputes on record and a whistleblowing channel published under the EU directive. Headcount has grown every year since 2021 with no reported redundancies, and the accounts show a training spend line consistent with the food-safety certification they hold. No third-party social audit such as SMETA or SA8000 was identified, which is normal at this size in the Nordic market.

Governance

Verified

Five-member board with an independent chair, unchanged since 2021, audited by Grant Thornton Sweden AB with annual accounts filed on time in every year on record. Ownership is disclosed in full to Bolagsverket: Nordlax Holding AB at 74%, Sundqvist Invest AB at 18.5% and the managing director personally at 7.5%. Statutory tax registrations are all current and no adverse records were found against any of the five representatives.

Strengths

BRCGS Food Safety at grade AA, plus MSC and ASC chain of custody covering both the wild and farmed lines. All three were verified in the issuing registries rather than read off the supplier site, and none expires inside the contract window.

Risks

Delivery

The requirement asks for a confirmed 48-hour chilled lead time door to door. Nothing published states a transit time to Benelux and the shipping partner is not named, so the analysis could not confirm it either way. With a reviewer since Monday.

Matches

BRCGS Food Safety at grade AA, verified in the BRCGS directory and valid past the contract window, alongside MSC and ASC chain of custody covering the wild and farmed lines respectively. Out-of-specification handling is described on the site and in the certificate summary, but the procedure itself was not evidenced and a reviewer marked that requirement partly met rather than cleared. IFS Food is named in the brief and nothing on file shows they hold it. Six of seven requirements cleared.

Frequently asked questions

Euforik is a European sourcing platform for procurement and supply chain teams. It finds suppliers from a plain-language description of what you need, analyzes each one against your requirements, runs the RFI, RFQ and RFP that follow, and keeps the contracts, notes and renewal dates in the same workspace afterwards.

Describe what you are sourcing the way you would explain it to a colleague, paste a supplier's website to find others like it, or narrow the field by country, industry, certification and company type. You choose whether to search your own supplier register, Euforik's verified European database, or the open web.

Every supplier is analyzed against your full requirement list on capability, quality, delivery, finance, legal and sustainability. Each requirement comes back cleared, partly cleared, failed or unknown, with the evidence behind it and whether it was verified against an official source or only self-reported.

Euforik is built for European sourcing and covers both direct and indirect suppliers across Europe. Financial and legal data comes from national registries and validated public sources, and Exact Match scans the open web when the database does not already hold a match.

Yes. Import your existing supplier base or add a supplier by website, then analyze them in the same batch as anything a search returns. Requirements are imported once per category and reused across projects, so the same standard applies to old and new suppliers alike.

Yes. Every supplier gets an RFI built from the requirements their analysis could not answer, and cleared suppliers go straight to an RFQ or RFP. Suppliers answer through a link with no account to create, and their replies are read and written back into the analysis.

Euforik is in early access and access is granted per team, so there is no public price list yet. Book a demo and we will walk through the platform and agree a plan that fits how your team sources.

No. Your data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit, processed under GDPR on EU infrastructure, and never used to train a model. Euforik's AI features are built to the EU AI Act: transparent and human-reviewable.
