Quality
The use of the best raw materials is just as important to us as careful workmanship under the strictest ecological aspects. On the one hand, we implement these practices through high-performance production machines, and on the other hand, through qualified craftsmanship.
Quality control
Competent and committed employees ensure the perfect finish and check every product before it leaves our site. The use of the best raw materials and how we work carefully with them are checked and documented in an elaborate step-by-step quality control process. Testing is carried out in accordance with valid European standards, supplemented by our own quality standards, which were developed at billerbeck.
