Quality
Quality assurance includes strict incoming inspection of raw materials, such as pure cotton fabrics for polishing rings with increased abrasion resistance achieved through textile finishing processes. Before series production starts, every prototype is thoroughly inspected and tested in the company's own test workshop.
