Responding to the Needs of the Customer Our philosophy at JSL is that quality is defined by the customer. We recognize that to remain at the forefront of our chosen markets we have, at all times, to be responsive to the needs of the people who choose our products. We continually conduct market research to enable us to build an informed picture of why our customers buy our products - and, in exceptional cases, why they don’t. By talking with specifiers, contractors, installers and architects we are able to generate and bring to the market new products; and we discover ways of improving existing lines to make them even more user friendly and reliable. The result of this determined responsiveness is apparent in the new products to be found in this catalogue. All of these new products are manufactured to the highest quality standards and have been designed for ease of installation - factors which have contributed in no small way to the enviable reputation that JSL enjoys throughout the world. By using the most modern computer systems and software we are able to process customer orders quickly and efficiently. At the same time we can provide accurate information on delivery dates and stock availability so that our customers can plan their business activities. These systems also allow us to manage our production more effectively by using materials, resources and scheduling to the optimum degree. Making improvements together is the core of our continuous improvement philosophy and this is supported by an ongoing commitment to investing in our people. 60`s Portugal ...
