Product quality and safety is a key customer promise

Product quality is of great importance in all industries relevant to NORMA Group. As joining elements for various individual parts, NORMA Group’s products are often critical to proper functioning for the direct customers. A malfunction in only one single element could affect the functioning and the safety of an entire application. That is why NORMA Group wants to guarantee its customers the highest level of reliability with its brands. Quality, customer requirements and added value for society are thus directly linked.

An important non-financial control parameter for improving product quality is the number of defective parts per million (PPM). PPM is the number of confirmed defective parts divided by the number of parts delivered and again multiplied by one million. In 2023, this number was at 2.2 PPM, and thus once again below the previous-year figure (2022: 2.9 PPM). Further information on managing product quality and safety can be found in the ECONOMIC REPORT.
