The high quality of our products and services is a decisive factor not only when it comes to the satisfaction of our customers, but also in reinforcing our stable economic performance.

The success and competitive strength of our company is based first and foremost on the quality of our products and an optimised production management system.

In order to achieve our strategic goals, we rely on quality and environmental management systems certified in compliance with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004. Beyond the scope of ISO 9001, we have implemented a total of 83 specific requirements of the AS/EN 9100 aviation standards which focus on the timeliness, quality and reliability of deliveries.

Implementing the requirements of quality and environmental standards into all of our company processes allows us to continuously improve. We use resources efficiently while increasing the competitive strength of our products. We are considerate to the environment in all of our business activities.

We emphasise the implementation of an efficient risk and opportunities management system.
