August 13, 2024 | CONFIDEEEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Over the past two years, Confidee has achieved significant milestones and set new industry standards, all while upholding their values as a compliant and personable PCB partner.
"We are humble, proud and grateful for all the support. Celebrating our second anniversary is not just a milestone; it's a testament to the hard work, passion, and commitment of our incredible team", says CEO Vidar Olsen.
From the very beginning, the company has been committed to challenging the norms of the PCB industry, always with a consistent focus on compliant PCBs.
“Our dedication to innovation, transparency, and personalization has been the cornerstone of our success. We have built a reputation as a rock-steady partner, and established ourselves as the leading authority, securing compliant PCBs”, he says.
An unwavering commitment
Confidee has since its launch, introduced cutting-edge IT solutions that meet and exceed industry standards. Fostered strong, transparent relationships with customers and manufacturing partners, and maintained an unwavering commitment to compliance and quality.
“We are not just marking another year in business; we are celebrating a journey of innovation, integrity, and unwavering commitment to our values”, says CEO Vidar Olsen.
The company has also grown into a team of 23 experienced colleagues, established 3 companies, Confidee AS, Confidee AB and Confidee GmbH, earned the trust of 130 customers, become contracted and approved by Tier 1 Defense and Aerospace companies, built strong relationships with valuable manufacturing partners, and have in record time achieved 3 crucial certifications; ISO 9001, AS9120 and EASA Part 21G.
Demonstrate and lead, don't tell “As we celebrate these milestones, we also look forward to the future with excitement and confidence. The journey ahead is filled with opportunities to grow, innovate, and further challenge the status quo. Compliance is here to stay, regulations are here to enforce it, and certification bodies are here to control and oversee it. Simply claiming compliance is no longer sufficient; demonstrating it is the only solution”, Olsen underlines.
“We, as an industry, need to stand together to raise awareness of the critical importance of regulatory adherence, and the consequences if a breach of export control appears. At Confidee, we recognize that demonstrating it is the only solution. This is why we empower compliance”, Olsen says.
Comprehensive sourcing practices and key compliance frameworks
By empowering compliance and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements across all industries and regions they operate in, offering transparency with clear visibility into compliance statuses for all stakeholders, including customers and suppliers, and embracing supply chain integrity by documenting and verifying the compliance status throughout the supply chain, there is little doubt what the company strategy is.
“Our strategic focus moving forward is centered on compliance, with the objective of being the leader in regulatory compliance within the PCB industry. Our approach will involve the development of new features in our ID system, comprehensive sourcing practices, and investment in key compliance frameworks”, Olsen says.
“We are more determined than ever to uphold our values and deliver exceptional service to our partners. Thank you to everyone who has trusted and supported us—your support has been instrumental in our success. We have just begun”, Olsen says.
