Good to know - Quality of products

Our offer comprises only tested products, appropriately choosen for your needs. We sell the best, known worldwide brands (enumerated in the "About the e-shop").

In some domains we have decided to sell only the best SCHMETZ needles bacause we are sure that their perfect quality prolongs failure-free work time and guarantees comfort and safety. Based on our experiences, we know that using needles of highest quality ensures measurable thrifts. It is well known to everyone who has ever used SCHMETZ needles.

As far as spare parts are concerned, it is not so clear anymore. Many manufacturers of sewing machines and other devices mount spare parts produced by specialists in their products. That's why Strima has cooperated with best spare parts producers, choosen by trial and error, for ages. The quality, however, varies from one manufacturer to another and estimating the proper price and quality relationship is very hard and requires great experience. Today, we know that the quality of some of the spare parts is even better than that of original ones. The best example would be Maier-Unitas company and their spare parts for different machine brands. There are countries where Maier parts are more expensive than the original ones. Nevertheless, we have kept our common sense. You'll find Maier parts by simply typing MAIER in the search field. We have many different original parts imported directly from the producers of machines and devices. When searching particular ones, you'll find both: original and generic products with tiny differences in the product codes and some differences in their prices. It ensures making free and conscious decisions. You can add all those products to your shopping cart (in quantities you need) and make the decision about purchasing them, just before placing the order (when you already get the information about available quantities).
However, we loyally emphasize that, as a free trading company, we search the market for quickly available products, of best price and quality relationship. Unfortunately, because of the specificity of our job, we cannot indicate the product's origin on the website [while ordering products which are not available on the stock it is hard to say which supplier has the fastest delivery time]. Everyone who demands only original parts is asked to order by fax or e-mail (marking that request and giving the original product code).
