Practical Group of Companies (Practical) is one of the leading manufacturers of lighting products in the world, which is specialized in developing and manufacturing of flashlights, lanterns and other battery operated lighting devices. After decades of continuous research and development, it seeks to further enhance its competitiveness, and thus invited TQM CONSULTANTS CO.
