Aquila is synonymous with quality. The Aquila OEM template agreement with its factories places market-leading emphasis on quality control. Aquila operates as a Legal Manufacturer for medical devices under EU rules; its relationship with its factories and their sub-contractors includes the ability to ensure Aquila will comply at the highest standard with its EU quality control obligations. But quality control is not just about words in a contract. In the China context, it is about experienced and knowledgeable feet on the ground all day, every day. Aquila’s leadership and the staff of its China subsidiary, which carries out control on the ground, have more than 20 years of experience dealing with Chinese factories in the manufacturing process. Its local staff do not just visit factories; they are present in the factories virtually every day while an order is processed. Aquila is the 6th largest client of Qima, the market-leading independent expert in quality control, with more than 50 of its staff engaged with Aquila’s orders and the manufacturing of its products.

Aquila began its focus on healthcare when the French Government asked its representatives in Greater China for a recommendation of a trustworthy company with a reputation for quality procurement in China. Sophie Martineau, a French citizen and the CEO of Aquila, was the immediate recommendation of the French Consulate in Hong Kong, and the French Government became the first and remains the largest client of Aquila.
