DESIGN
Design is the core of our product;
we strive to bring joy into our customers homes by sharing nice designs at affordable prices.
The grand old men of Scandinavian Design lighting, Flemming Brylle and Preben Jacobsen, are still in the design board of the company, mentoring the young team, and ensuring the steady flow of new designs.
TECHNOLOGY
The lighting industry is passing through its first major transformation in more than 100 years.
Technology innovations in LED supported by demands for more climate friendly energy, has led to a pervasive transformation in the lighting industry.
Furthermore, intelligent light management, and solar cells
are just entering the scene.
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
Selling affordable lighting raises the barrier to supply chain operations and keeping the operations lean and cost efficient is a continuous effort.
This includes mastering many disciplines such as chosing the best suited sub-suppliers, keeping operations lean, and keep stocks to a minimum by applying build-to-order, and keeping these in sync with the major retailers we are working with.
SPACE MANAGEMENT
Every major retailer we work with has special requirements to the operations, and we lift the barriers with our partners every time:
Instore product assortment rules, instore display, optimized sales packaging, in-package cross-/upsale folder etc etc all make part of the offering from Quality System.
SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN
Back in 1965 Quality System was a first mover in making Scandinavian Lighting Design affordable. See article in Danish from the early days here.
The Scandinavian design tradition is minimalistic with a strong focus on the functionality. We have taken this into lighting, and made it a discipline to sell affordable lighting to mass retailers
The products manufactured are Brylle/Jacobsen products, and also OEM products.

GENERAL LIGHTING PRODUCTS
For our key accounts, the major retailers of this world, we are frequently asked to extend the purchasing power of the large volumes into a variety of lighting fixtures.
These fixtures either have been part of their assortment for years, or are products that we co-develop in close cooperation with the design and/or purchasing division.
LED PRODUCTS
Quality System was an early adapter of LED, and today has an operation with supplying LED fixtures to more than 30 countries.
The concept is clear, the best from two worlds: The best quality LED fixtures of Asia with the design and quality control of Quality System.
SOLAR CELL
Over the last years the production costs of thin solar cells has been diminished dramatically, and the polymer solar cells have opened for endless new opportunities.
Quality System is part of the consortia of the first European thin polymer solar cells. The technology is still in its early stages, but the first commercially viable products are expected to land in the markets in the late autumn of 2011.
BRYLLE/JACOBSEN INVENTS THE KNOCK DOWN DESIGN LIGHTING IN 1965
Short summary of article:
The young Preben Jacobsen was cleaning his son's room a late evening. He found a bunch of playing cards, and got inspired to make a design lamp from these.
Having found the idea appealing, he brought the idea to his friend and partner Flemming Brylle. Together they laid the foundation of a self assembly Scandinavian design lighting adventure still called Quality System 40+ years later.
The first lamp, shown in the article, Cosmo Light could be assembled in 10 minutes by and inexperienced, but the young lady did it in two.
