Quality thinking of Heckler & Koch

If your target is to distribute future oriented products, you have to ensure that all areas within the company understand this vision and adopt it as a standard for daily work.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The combination of creativity, the courage to think outside the box, and an exact knowledge of the market have made our development function successful. Here, new ideas and thoughts are translated into hardware.

Work is carried out in teams - each group taking responsibility for a new weapon system's development. Whether in the design department or in the experimental workshop, the same team works on the future weapon's development, from the beginning until we are ready for production.

When applicable, Heckler & Koch closely cooperates with selected international companies to develop integrated systems.

PRODUCTION
Heckler & Koch is a leader in technology and state-of-the-art production. The entire organisation is committed to maintaining this competitive technological advantage. The manufacturing facility is divided into cells enabling production, engineering, and quality assurance to operate in a decentralised efficient manner.

The production facility is subdivided into machining methods, special purpose technologies with barrel manufacturing, hardening and surface treatment, assembly, sheet metal processing and materials management.

HIGHTECH
As a technological leader, Heckler & Koch is an innovator in using new materials in small arms production. The plastic injection molding shop manufactures the grip assemblies for individual types of weapons, such as the G36 or the USP. It has streamlined a time consuming, individual process into one that today takes approximately three minutes per component.

PRECISION | QUALITY CONTROL
Reliability, safety and high quality standards are central to all HK products. We are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 and AQAP 2110 NATO.

Our quality management approach combines the best of traditional inspection methods, statistical process control and over pressure proof firing. HK's "No compromise" quality approach is embedded from raw material through to finished products.

DIN EN ISO 9001 Certificate

DIN EN ISO 9001

Heckler & Koch consistently improves quality, a characteristic proven through the certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001. This certification is valid as a "driver's licence" for companies with the highest demands on quality. The Quality Management System guarantees the constant observance of quality and continual improvement of all processes in all areas.

Therefore each and every one of our Heckler & Koch staff members is considered or takes pride in being a Quality Manager.
