Schuler Cartec received its first certificate for outstanding quality from car manufacturer Ford on November 7, 2007. Ford’s European quality and procurement division only presents the so-called Q1 Award to suppliers which can meet the highest standards in quality, productivity and service over a longer period. A further prerequisite is an extensive certification procedure, during which areas such as quality and environmental management systems and customer care are examined and evaluated.

For Martin Behles, Executive Vice President of Schuler Cartec, the certification is both confirmation of performance so far and a motivation for future orders: "Q1 certification is globally recognized and an important criterion for cooperation with Ford. The award also strengthens our desire to aim for the utmost quality," said Behles at the award ceremony on November 7 in Göppingen. "Above all, the award represents a special recognition of the work performed by all employees of the business unit. Their knowledge and dedication forms an essential foundation for our quality."
