Quality management

Quality is when the customers come back – and not the products

The quality of our products is an important competitive factor and an obligation for us towards our customers all over the world. Our suppliers have a significant influence on product quality and thus on the satisfaction of our customers.

We see a trusting and cooperative partnership as the way to achieve the quality goals - and thus the customer requirements - together with our suppliers.

Therefore, supplier audits and quality and procurement aspects are a matter of course for us. With approved suppliers, we strive for a permanent improvement of the supply chain.
