People Share The Companies That Have Super High Standards, Here Are The 30 Most Unexpected Ones

Full credit to them 👏

Besides that, their beans are damn good!

This actually makes me want to eat Baked Beans on Toast, even though I just ate some!

They have a nice facility. It's in NC, and I see it when I travel north just an hour or so. Beautiful campus!

This is the difference being family owned can make. My last company was family owned for over 100 years (until the last remaining family member sold it to a competitor). They did pretty much anything for us. Every holiday was catered lunch for the office, there was a yearly Xmas party in the most expensive suite at the most expensive hotel in my city. They'd ordered pizza and other food randomly throughout the year. They had social and charity programs we could volunteer for. They were super responsible when it came to our security, the pandemic, etc. And it was run by mostly great people, and had people who worked (and actually did their jobs well) for decades. My job itself wasn't great but everything about the company was.

Nice !

Deserves the CEO title.

Clone the dude! The world needs many more like him!

So 50% of his salary kept how many employed?

If that wasn't badass enough for you, once upon a time, the engineers at nintendo couldn't figure out how to fit pokemon into game boy cartridge. Satoru iwata san himself took over and somehow compressed everything into the cartridge. God took him away too early, gaming need more people like him.

There manufacturing quality process operate at what is known to be a 7-sigma rate, which boils down to 1 non-compliant piece in every million escaping in to the wild. No other manufacturer can claim that.

I gave a lot of the lego i had in the early 1980s to my nephews. You wouldn't know how old it is.

This is an advantage of not being publicly traded - no pressure to please the stock market and the shareholders.

each brick that is placed on other has identical friction ... not to easy and not to tight

I have actually been in the LEGO plant in Billund Denmark. Quality does not include just material tolerances. Children use their product, and they protect children as a priority to the point where I am not even sure if any chef's restaurant is as clean as their plant. They want their product perfectly clean for the children. Plastic is moved between the departments in tubes to prevent debris build ups. Quality does not even stop there. They have researchers to make sure that the parts are safe to use. I have never been in a factory anywhere owned by anyone that has higher overall quality. Also, their cafeterias in the factory were fantastic. Maybe it is because they are so close to the ocean. I had never had calamari and it was fantastic.

I LOVE my Fiskars rotary fabric cutter. That thing is seriously sharp and maneuverable.

Cost to Fiskers? Tiny. Benefit? Massive. If you get that kind of customer service you’ll tell the story to everyone, you’ll buy more of their products, this is an great investment on their part.

I have some Fiskars shears and a pruning tool. Very solid.

I have a pair of scissors made by them from the 70s. They are still the best ones I have.

Is loppers an official word? Never heard that one before. In the US we call them pruners.

Owned Toyotas for 30 years, nothing goes wrong with them - we get them regularly serviced yes, but (touch wood) never had an issue

Just bought my first car and it’s a Toyota!

Japan is known for high quality

Had a Tercel that made it to almost 400,000 miles

I love Toyotas! Been selling auto parts for 35 years. Toyotas, Hondas and Nissans paid for two houses and put three kids through college. Also two 2007 Saturns that are still going strong. Keep making those parts eaters!

For any line of product, Ikea follows the thoughtest safety standards available worldwide (that usually is just the CE standards). Their real trick is that they do not take the supplier's word for the products being compliant, but they go through a ferocious supplier's qualification process, and periodically run a lot of test -even destructive ones- on production batches.
