German term

'Qualität ist eine Frage des Anspruchs' -> Quality matters ?

German to English Marketing Business/Commerce (general) Company motto in relation to quality management
This is a company motto, and I am wondering how to render it, having difficulty with the expression 'Frage des Anspruchs'. Any references for this expression would be highly appreciated.

Somehow 'Quality is a matter of entitlement' does not seem to quite catch it. Perhaps 'Quality matters'?

Looking forward to all (creative) suggestions and many thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Ron

A good point there, your divine aquaticness

Another tip: don't ever use "final solution" in passing like this
BrigitteHilgner Mar 7, 2005:
Just ideas - not a "final solution": quality depends on the demands you make; the more you ask for, the better quality you get; demand quality and you'll get it. I find "quality matters" a bit weak as expression.

Quality is a question of standards

The meaning is: "it all depends on what you want", on how high your standards are.

We're serious about quality - So is the customer

Both reassures and flatters the customer, whilst cracking the whip over the staff.

Quality - You Desreve No Less

I was going to suggest "Quality - Your Divine Right" originally, but that would probably be going over the top. Native speakers, please confirm :-)
