The sentnece means that this company does not think of quality as a "value added" attribute that would help give it an edge over the competition. It is rather a prerequisite for mere entry into the field.

"Given" as a noun is borrowed from mathematics. In English, the crossover to other context has been made palatable by constant use. In some languages, the crossover may seem odd, so if you are translating this sentence, you would want to determine if the equivalent term in the target language is appropriate for this kind of context. Otherwise, you may want to try a close synonym.

from "my book of wisdom"

En nuestra morcilla de arroz y cebolla la calidad viene dada (o e un factor intrínseco).

I guess it's a short way of saying to replace: is given fro granted!
