MACPAC has announced that it has been awarded AA+ accreditation for packaging materials following an audit by the BRCGS
AA+ is BRCGS’ highest food safety standard accreditation and Macpac said that the award ‘sets the benchmark’ for good manufacturing practice.
The BRCGS packaging materials global standard helps a site or operation to demonstrate they are providing products that are quality assured, legally compliant, and authentic. The standard is also used by manufacturers of packaging for all applications across the supply chain.
Graham Kershaw, MD at Macpac, commented, “Our mantra is that quality should be a given but never taken for granted. A requirement for BRCGS audits is that one in three must be an unannounced site visit but we have every confidence in our plant, people, processes and products so are happy to be challenged at the highest possible level. As a result, we are thrilled to have achieved the BRC AA+ for packaging materials this year.
“The BRC AA+ accreditation assesses us across stringent criteria and achieving the top accolade further strengthens our competitive edge within the thermoformed packaging industry, meaning that both food and non-food manufacturers and retailers, as well as consumers can trust that our solutions continue to set a new benchmark in quality.
“It also further demonstrates that delivering exceptional packaging products that meet environmental targets whilst offering superior functionality and protection properties, as well as exceeding customer satisfaction, is key to Macpac’s longevity and on-going success.”
