The Cartonplast Group is DIN ISO 22000 certified

The new certification places the company among the top European companies in transport packaging.

Dietzenbach, 02/03/2015: Successful certification for Cartonplast Group GmbH: the leading European provider of reusable plastic layer-pads on a rental basis, with its company headquarters in Dietzenbach/Germany, has been certified in accordance with ISO 22000, the international standard for food safety management systems. The company has therefore raised the bar even higher with respect to quality management and hygiene.
The company is one of the pioneers in food safety within the industry; the hygiene standards at Cartonplast are exemplary. Cartonplast ensures the effective and reliable implementation of the globally recognised food safety standard through the consistent implementation of standardised operating processes and the high-quality training of its employees. The certification was obtained at its sites in Germany (Dietzenbach, Leese and Essen), Spain (Parla) and Portugal (Figueira da Foz).

„We are very proud of this certification as it is evidence of our successful development in recent years and is also major praise for our employees‘ excellent performances. This exacting certification enables us to demonstrate that all the processes in our company ensure food safety and meet the high international standards at the same time. Our key objective is to guarantee food safety in our processes for our customers and partners and to try and minimise the impact of our operating processes on the environment at the same time,“ explains Dr. Jörg Elias, Group Director Quality Assurance and Process Engineering at the Cartonplast Group.

All potential risks with regard to food safety are continuously analysed, identified and evaluated in the company. At the same time, the company also addresses environmental impact issues, such as water consumption and waste management.

The company will also undergo ISO 22000 certification at the company’s sites in Poland and Russia in 2015, whilst the subsidiaries in Great Britain and Turkey have already been certified in accordance with the BRC Global Standard for Storage & Distribution (British Retail Consortium).

This means that the entire Cartonplast Group will be certified in accordance with internationally recognised food safety standards. All service and logistics centres within the corporate group maintain an impeccable level of hygiene and are equipped with state-of-the-art cleaning technology for reusable plastic layer-pads. Cartonplast has been providing a high level of food safety for its customers within the beverage, food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries for almost three decades.
„Container manufacturers achieve a clear competitive advantage thanks to the ISO 22000 certification as they can therefore guarantee uninterrupted food safety in transit for their customers,“ explains Michael Heikenfeld, Managing Director of the Cartonplast Group.
