Kopenhagen Fur is the undisputed world leader in the fur trade. For many years the world market price for fur skins has been set here.
More than 50% of the world production of mink is traded here. Such a large quantity of skins, together with a single classifying system, offers buyers a uniform selection enabling optimisation during the subsequent production stage.
Each and every skin is evaluated according to specific sets of high standards, for example type, sex, size, colour, quality and clarity. However, other factors also apply, such as the length and density of the guard hairs, their silkiness and resilience.
By maintaining these high standards, we ensure that the description of each and every lot of skins in every one of our catalogues is completely accurate.
The sorting and grading of the skins need to be razor-sharp. There is no room for slovenly work and deviance, because the customers need to be certain, that they get the goods they expect to get and they have paid for. That demands that there is absolutely control over the processes in the sorting and grading of the skins, and that quality is an important part of the work procedures at all times. It has actually always been like that, but with the ISO 9001-certification of Kopenhagen Fur, the processes that will secure the quality are thought thoroughly over and have been integrated in the company’s intranet, where all employees have access to the information. It is not only the sorting and grading of the skins that has been certified - the company as a whole is part of the certification. That has been done with an eye on the future.
