il filo logico della qualità

English translation: wires ahead on quality

09:11 Feb 22, 2008
Italian to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations / Manufacturer of machinery and products for the wire manufacturing industry
Italian term or phrase: il filo logico della qualità
It is an advertising slogan which will appear almost everywhere this group's name appears
"XXX Group:
il filo logico della qualità"
Yet again the play on words is with "filo". "the logical thread", but of course they are in the wire and cable industry and not in the cotton industry, so that doesn't work. Consequently anything which is powerful about quality with some reference to wires will be welcome.
In a previous post for
"XXX Group:
un filo + avanti
They eventually went for"
"THE XXX GROUP: AN EDGE AHEAD,WIRE FOR WIRE"

Asker: Hi Mara. Now CMU, "right down the line" is a bit hackneyed, but do you think "quality right down the wire" would work?

Asker: Thanks CMJ
