“Strottman’s 100% safety record is no accident as Safety and Quality is a foundation piece of the Agency.  We prioritize 'prevention over inspection'.  We live and breathe it daily as we know one inferior product experience can damage a client's brand. We know only the best people produce the best results. We follow a rigorous development process that amalgamates our Product Integrity function at the very beginning of concept design and thus minimizes the potential for issues once we begin mass production.”

– Dagmar Hartley, Managing Director of Asia Operations
