Product quality

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 ISO 9001, from the first to last reel.

2. Consistent quality all over the world
The employees at all our plants are provided thorough training, whether in Germany, Poland, Italy, Russia, China, Brazil, Turkey or the USA. It is this approach, plus use of standardised work sequences and same-system printing presses, that guarantees the consistent high quality of our products. 
 
3. Materials
Carefully selected lacquers and resins, lightfast inks with a Blue Wool rating of 7 to 8 and optimised base paper play a central role in the high quality of our products. Plus our R&D staff is constantly engaged in enhancing such quality still further.  
 
4. Environmental compatibility
Schattdecor's locations all over the world adhere to the same stringent rules as at the group's headquarters. The company leads the branch in environmental terms, as evidenced by use since its foundation of water-soluble inks that are free of heavy metals, production methods that go easy on the environment, wastewater treatment units at every plant, and annual ecological and energy audits.

Operational diversity

5. Full-process decor development
The Schattdecor group's decors are developed at one central place – the headquarters in Thansau, Germany – to ensure high design quality. Created by the Design department, the decors are digitally mastered by repro specialists and engraved onto printing cylinders in in-house processes. This degree of vertical integration enables Schattdecor to meet exacting requirements in terms of quality and flexibility.  
 
6. Design
What will be the trends of tomorrow? Schattdecor's experienced design team has the answers. These include forward-looking trend themes plus numerous best-selling decors, such as Wallis Plum, Arusha Wenge and Coimbra. 

7. Product expertise

Service quality

8. Customer proximity 
Schattdecor's 13 production locations and 7 sales offices in various parts of the world keep the company in close touch with its customers and the needs and requirements of their markets.

9. Partnership 
Schattdecor's paper, printing, impregnation, lacquering and coating specialists collaborate closely across all departmental boundaries, giving them a broad understanding of processes outside their area of specialisation. It is this orchestrated expertises that enables the company to provide optimum advice and consulting on all aspects of decor production, post-printing and lamination.

10. Operational efficiency
Seen on a worldwide basis, Schattdecor provides the highest degree of operational efficiency, flexibility and punctuality in the branch thanks to three key factors: committed, well-trained and friendly employees; the largest stock of machinery in the branch, and standardisation of processes for consistent and high-quality results.
