gaining competitive advantage

The following specialist interview discusses insulating glass industry and quality control in the DACH area, one of the leading regions for high quality insulating glass manufacturing in the world. We asked Andreas Kotzke, the Product Manager of Rottler and Rüdiger and Partner GmbH (R&R), to share his thoughts about:

• the importance of quality control in the manufacturing process
• the systems, certifications and standards that are commonly in use
• what the insulating glass manufacturers can do to gain competitive advantage through new innovative technologies now available on the market.

 
“Because of the increasing global competition and customers’ higher expectations for insulating glass performance, we are likely going to see a development towards a 100% quality controlled and
documented IGU’s.”
