Mission & vision

Personalized bags with a vision

Producing personalized cotton and jute bags in a sustainable way. That is what TheCottonBag Company stands for.

That is exactly why we ensure continuous interaction between our headquarter in Belgium and our production departments in India. In this way we can take responsibility for the produced quality on the one hand and the production method on the other; with a focus on people and the planet.

Why India?

Our facilities in India, the land of cotton and jute, allow us to guarantee the sustainability of our production. By working closely with the local population and involving them in the decision-making and production processes, we strive for the best possible quality with attention to ethics in all its aspects.

But apart from the accessible production, there are many other reasons why TheCottonBag Company has chosen India:

Axel, our founder and CEO, has always been passionate about working as closely as possible with the manufacturer. He believes this approach ensures a deeper understanding of where products are made, facilitates faster communication, offers more product customization opportunities, and ensures the well-being of the workers involved in the production process.

When Axel traveled to India in search of a reliable supplier for bags, he encountered many companies with impressive certificates and claims. However, he often found discrepancies in the quality of materials, broken promises, and a lack of respect for employees. Axel wanted to do things differently. He aimed to create a factory that not only respects its workers but is also specifically designed to cater to the promotional products market. This commitment led him to establish his own factory, ensuring high standards of quality, integrity, and respect in every aspect of production.

Openness & respect

Openness to different religions. The Hindu community is the largest in India and yet there is also room for other religions. There is a healthy mix of Christians, Muslims and non-believers, among others. Good cooperation is made possible by a great mutual tolerance.

Ambitious people

The Indian population is a young, growing population with on the one hand many highly educated people and on the other hand people who are willing to follow courses in order to be able to work and to build themselves a future.

Development

Despite the fact that there is still a lot of work to be done on the infrastructure in India, there is major progress every year.
