When choosing a new motif for advertisements, LQ's marketing team have opted for a symbol that sends a strong message. A friendship bracelet braided using cables in the standard colours of the electronics industry will in future stand for trust in a solid business relationship and high-quality products from LQ Mechatronik-Systeme.

They have overcome the first hurdle. After their successful applications, interviews and a taster day, in September five new trainees will start at LQ in Besigheim. Together with their parents, they made the most of the opportunity to spend a whole afternoon finding out about the various LQ factories: cable assembly, module production, building switchgear cabinets, coatings and the social amenities.

The new version of the standard ISO 9001:2015 contains a few points with significant differences compared to the old standard, in particular in relation to in-company procedures. The LQ group always sees the focus on quality management as a strategic decision to enhance performance. On 25 and 26 June this year, LQ's entire QM system was audited for the first time in accordance with the specifications of the updated DIN ISO 9001:2015 standard.
