A Great Story Starts with a Friendly Team
The EOQ (at that time called European Organization for Quality Control - EOQC) was established in 1956.
The founding organizations came from five western European Countries: France, Italy, Western Germany, The Netherlands and United Kingdom.
As a first major step in broadening the delivery of a quality agenda the EOQ spread its roots into other western European countries, before establishing links with Central and Eastern Europe.
Later EOQ has widened its activities to include the countries of the southern and eastern Mediterranean region.

European Quality Week
Since 1995 EOQ announces the European Quality Week theme with a Quality slogan.
All EOQ members promote this theme with an impressive variety of events during the annual European Quality Week, which takes place in the 2nd week of November.
Traditionally, World Quality Day is on the Thursday of that week.
With this project EOQ wants to make the public aware of the advantages and importance of quality management.
In particular, it is a promotion and demonstration of competitiveness throughout Europe.
