I'm struggling to find a way to translate this sentence from a presentation about how to market a brand of liqueur:
Podemos partir de nuestros atributos de origen y know how que trabajan en calidad
We can (Let's) start from our roots and know how ...
All suggestions welcome! thanks

work to a very high standard/to the very best of our abilities
This one can go high on the list of "meaningless expressions" for use in blurb writing.....
I am, however, presuming that the next word isn't going to change the meaning altogether.... Cd you confirm the whole sentence?

I think the "que trabajan en calidad" means these attributes/know-how that "work on" quality (but wording it this way would be very awkward).

traditional roots & quality product
This would look nice as a bullet point.
The nice thing about presentations is you don't to worry about grammar - in fact, it's better if you don't.

que trabajan en calidad > that deal in quality
one of the meanings of "trabajar" is to deal in (a product) or to do (a product) ... I think that's the sense here: the company --- through its roots and know-how --- "deals in quality" as if it were a product.
