Explanation:
As I'd put it, cons- idering the word "materializa" - literally materialize, with synonyms concretize, solidify, strengthen.

I'd translate the paragraph as follows:

"The key to the success of (company name), a family business located in (place), is based on three pillars: product quality, service and proximity. Its leadership is solidified/concretized not only through its production process but also in its quest for continuous improvement in all areas of its activity."

Examples in business literature of the usage of the verb solidify in relation to leadership are numerous.
