At Exatronic, quality is not just a requirement to be met – it is the basis of reliability, the source of trust and the foundation of lasting partnerships. For us, complying with regulations is just the starting point: our commitment to certifications, compliance and continuous improvement sets us apart as a trusted partner in the most demanding industries.
This culture of excellence was driven by Marina Bastos, Quality and Innovation Coordinator, and her team. For over a decade, they have led the evolution of the Quality Department, transforming it into a strategic driver for the organisation. Under their guidance, quality is no longer seen as a bureaucratic weight, but rather as a factor in competitiveness, innovation, and cultural cohesion.
In the electronics sector, quality is synonymous with extreme precision. Every component, every connection and every process must meet standards that allow no room for error. The technology we develop and produce is only relevant if it is reliable, safe and consistent. That is why, at Exatronic, quality is not just about reports or checklists – it is a real-life practice, present in every detail of the development and production cycle.
This requirement brought with it countless challenges. The growing complexity of electronic systems, the need for faster and more efficient processes, the pressure for greater traceability and the constant search for fault reduction force the organisation to always be one step ahead. Instead of viewing these difficulties as obstacles, we turned them into drivers of evolution. This is how we consolidated continuous improvement methodologies, created a preventive culture, and strengthened the company's responsiveness.
The Quality Department has become a cross-functional hub. It is no longer just an area that validates results, but rather a function that accompanies projects from conception to final delivery. It works side by side with the development, production and project management teams, ensuring not only compliance, but also internal alignment, consistency and a shared vision of responsibility. Quality has become a common language within Exatronic, integrating people, processes and objectives.
This journey is also a human one. Over more than ten years, growth in the area of quality has gone hand in hand with the development of the team itself and the evolution of the organisational culture. Marina's leadership has been decisive in giving meaning to this journey: through a clear vision and closeness to people, quality is no longer seen as an administrative weight but is now recognised as a driver of competitiveness and innovation.
With this solid foundation, Exatronic is looking to the future. Consolidating strategic certifications, accelerating process digitisation and reinforcing innovation as a distinctive brand are the next steps. Not as isolated goals, but as part of a larger strategy: to grow sustainably, balancing technical rigour with the creativity and adaptability that set us apart.
