PEOPLE QUALITY

For Comet, the importance of the individual and his role in the creation of quality and in achieving aims, is a reason for continuous training activity and stimulus to growth.
Quality begins in Comet with the training and involvement of the personnel at all levels.

PROCESS QUALITY

Comet knows that achieving aims is the result of numerous activities strictly connected to one another. All the company’s processing chain, from administering orders to programming, from the supply of raw materials to after-sales services, is regulated by procedural systems and subjected to continuous re-examination.

PRODUCT QUALITY

For Comet, the company offer is formed by two indissoluble aspects: product and service.
Attention to market changes and the requests of Clients leads to the continuous development of new products that link the fruits of the most advanced technology to our usual reliability.

The good name of our company on the market is due in no small measure to the virtuous approach we adopt in our business dealings, and to relations with our stakeholders.

At Comet, we are convinced that a company can achieve great things only if it is inspired by strong and positive values like those which characterized our founders, and which we continue to keep alive today: probity, skill, team spirit and flair for innovation.
