67 In addition to meeting its own inhouse quality stand- ards, the fittings manufacturer works with renowned external testing institutes and organisations in order to also meet their standards and requirements. But quality at Blum does not only apply to its products. Services and cooperation with customers and partners must also meet exacting quality requirements.

Fittings play a decisive role in kitchens in terms of convenience and long life. That’s why Blum checks and tests the functionality and quality of its products before they are launched. Blum also attaches great importance to quality in the production of fittings. High precision tools and minimal manufacturing tolerances guarantee the efficient assembly of individual components to produce highly complex fittings solutions. Different research and test procedures simulate within a few days what the load conditions are for many years. This allows the company to make improvements to material and design before the fittings are put to everyday kitchen use.
