From Kyklos Poiotitas to Quality Lean Center (QLC)
The name change is not simply a new logo; it represents the natural next step in our journey within the business world of quality, development, research and innovation; a journey that began with Kyklos Poiotitas in 2005.
In this new era, we preserve the DNA of Kyklos Poiotitas while introducing a more integrated, international and flexible identity that better reflects the breadth of our services.
– Alignment with qlc.gr – the QLC acronym has been part of our digital identity since day one.
– International reach – the new name is immediately understandable within the global market.
– Unified service umbrella – from management systems to innovation and funding, our services continue to evolve while “quality” remains the common denominator.
Our new corporate identity, QLC – Quality Lean Center, expresses the values we have always stood for:
– Quality – our uncompromising commitment to quality.
– Lean – efficiency, flexibility and simplicity in every process.
– Center – a central point of reference for organizations seeking integrated support.
