Quality - the basis for hydraulic cylinders that set standards

At Liebherr, quality begins in the development phase. From technical consultation to the careful selection and support of our suppliers, right through to production, we ensure that the highest standards are consistently maintained. During the entire production process, permanent operational quality assurance monitors every step and rectifies any deviations immediately.

All measures are anchored in a comprehensive quality management system – from intensive supplier qualification and seamless process control to the continuous improvement of our processes. In this way, each individual process step contributes to the sustainable overall quality of our hydraulic cylinders.

Our commitment to quality does not end with delivery.
Maintaining hydraulic cylinders gives us valuable experience that we use to constantly improve our processes. This creates a closed quality cycle where each stage affects the next.
