1. Continuity
At Schattdecor, every production step is documented in a systematic manner and subjected to stringent inspection routines. This is how we achieve consistent high quality in keeping with the ISO 9001 standard – from the first to the last reel.
2. Identical quality worldwide
We provide our employees with thorough training at all our works, whether in Germany, Poland, Italy, Russia, China or Brazil. It is this approach, plus our use of standardised work sequences and same-system printing presses, that results in Schattdecor products of identical quality all over the world.
3. Materials
The use of carefully selected materials, such as lightfast inks (with a Blue Wool Scale rating of 7 – 8), high-quality lacquer and optimised base paper plays a central role in ensuring the high quality of our printing and lacquering work. And our R&D operations are constantly concerned with improving quality still further.
4. Environmental compatibility
Our locations all over the world adhere to the self-same stringent rules that apply at our works in Germany. We also set the pace within the branch in environmental terms, as evidenced by:
- our use of heavy-metal-free and water-soluble inks
since our foundation in 1985
- production methods that go easy on the environment
- in-house wastewater treatment
- annual eco- and energy audits
