Our quality principles

Personal responsibility

We take responsibility for our actions and make courageous decisions. We act as a team and support each other. Together we convince through the good quality of our work.

Cooperation

Many work processes overlap with those of other departments and work areas. We work together effectively. We attach great importance to mutual openness, objectivity and friendliness in our dealings with each other.

Targets

Only those who know their goal can reach it. Therefore, we set clear requirements that we follow consistently. Together we define stages and decide by when we can and want to implement them. Along the way, we keep checking where we are. This is how we achieve our goals.

Order

Clear structures are a high priority for us because they are the prerequisite for professional work. This includes a tidy working environment where everyone has a place and everyone can find their way around. By keeping things tidy, we gain time to focus on what’s important: our work.

Quality inspection

To achieve the best possible quality, each production step is subject to constant control. We define measurable quality characteristics and check their compliance objectively. The documentation and evaluation helps us to eliminate deviations. We are only finished when the demands of our customers and our quality requirements are met.

Error culture

Mistakes can happen. We stand by them and deal with them constructively and appreciatively. This is because they provide us with information, for example, about weak points in the process or possible new approaches to solutions. Together, we get to the bottom of the cause and ensure that the same error does not occur again.

Process optimization

The permanent optimization of our processes and structures is part of our corporate culture. We always want to get better and we are continuously working on that. Our employees are experts in their field and look for causes and solutions for your work area. If asus a proposed solution becomes a measurable improvement, it becomes the new standard.

For this we stand

“The outstanding quality of our products and our processes is the basis of our success. We want to be the best with our performance and not only satisfy our customers, but inspire them. To achieve this, we set ourselves ambitious goals, working towards them with passion and confidence across organizational boundaries. A high level of vertical integration and a process landscape that otherwise only large companies have make us particularly fast – this maintains our independence, of which we are very proud.”

Christian Adams
Management Board of Thermotec AG

Certification

Idea & Development

In order to be able to generate continuous growth, we are constantly working on developing new products and innovations. To this end, we hold Ideas Factory workshops at regular intervals. Our development team then turns these ideas into reality by creating drawings, building prototypes and then putting them through their paces until the product meets our high quality requirements.

In addition to our own test benches, a 3D printer or temperature measuring stations, we also have contacts with external institutes (e.g. Leipzig University) that can perform additional tests for us. Ultimately, the focus of any new or further development at Thermotec is always on quality and credibility
of our brand.

Made in Germany

“Made in Germany” is not just a slogan for us. It is a seal of quality for goods manufactured in Germany. It is our commitment and constant demand to manufacture high-quality products that satisfy their users for a long time with timeless design and sustainable quality. To achieve this goal, we deliberately avoid outsourcing and subcontractors. Our products are produced by our qualified employees in our factory in Vierkirchen and shipped from there all over the world.

Testing & Warranty

Every single production step at Thermotec is subject to constant quality control. Our goal is to meet the high quality requirements of our customers and to reduce quality fluctuations to a minimum.
In cooperation with scientific institutes, we also ensure that all the technologies we use are always state-of-the-art.

We are sure of our quality:
Regardless of the statutory warranty rights, we as manufacturers provide a warranty for the duration of 30 years on our radiators. You can view the exact warranty conditions here.

Lean Production

Our work processes are clearly defined and allow us to work precisely and economically with a short manufacturing time of our products. The machine automation combined with manual manufacturing results in a good symbiosis and brings high quality and efficiency to our production processes. In addition, a high degree of vertical integration in our company provides us with freedom and minimizes delivery difficulties.

The internally installed lean management is permanently working on improving processes in order to avoid wasting time and materials and to minimize interface problems. We do not leave improvements to chance, but tackle them in a targeted manner together with our employees. Causes become solutions and solutions become improvements.

Logistics

The high-bay and small parts warehouse, which went into operation in 2016, is designed for maximum productivity and efficiency. We stock our products on more than 3,000 m2 of warehouse space, of which more than 1,000 pallet spaces form our buffer warehouse, so that we can deliver our customers their goods on time. Most shipments leave our premises within 48 hours to reach their destination by freight forwarding or parcel service.
