Tokmanni's online store in Finland is closely connected with its comprehensive network of stores.

Cost-efficient and agile sourcing model

Tokmanni Group sources products from several different suppliers. The Group focuses on increasing its sourcing directly from suppliers and countries with low manufacturing costs. This is done, for example, in cooperation with Norwegian company Europris through a joint venture located in Shanghai. By omitting intermediaries and by sourcing products directly from suppliers, Tokmanni is able to offer products at a very low price. This also gives Tokmanni more control of the supply chain and its responsibility.

Tokmanni engages in sourcing cooperation with Europris chain in Asia (incl. China, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam) and Eastern Europe (incl. Turkey, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia, Slovenia, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). The functions in Vietnam were launched in August 2022 through the joint sourcing company of Tokmanni and Europris, located in Shanghai.

Dividend

Tokmanni Group’s aim is to distribute around 70 per cent of net income for each financial year in dividends, depending on the capital structure, financial position, general economic and business conditions and future prospects.

Products with the best price-to-quality ratio

The quality and safety of products are monitored in the country of origin, and at the logistics centre and stores. Products undergo technical product inspections, consignment inspections and risk-based self-supervision inspections. The aim is to prevent all deviations in product safety and quality-of-use in advance. This is ensured through inspections of product quality and documentation which check that the products fulfil legal requirements and are appropriate for the Finnish market.

Responsible operations

Sustainability means business integrity, fair treatment, responsible sourcing of products and efficient use of resources. Responsible sourcing means, above all, ensuring that the fundamental rights of employees are implemented throughout the supply chain. We focus on our private label products, direct imports, building long-term supplier relationships and close cooperation with various parties. This makes it possible to have an impact on the production conditions of sourced products and to keep prices low.
