QUALITY AWARENESS PROMOTES CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Our products and services meet high technical requirements and quality standards. For this, we use a comprehensive range of in-house test equipment and test facilities. Our military and civilian approvals as well as our certifications provide objective evidence of our capabilities. To maintain these standards, our processes are monitored and tested continuously and, if necessary, they are optimised.
Since it is never possible to avoid faults completely, despite all of the Zero Defect Strategies, it is important to convey to employees just how significant it is for them to communicate their mistakes openly.
