Expansion of international Quality Team
Quality has always been our best business model and it is a constant factor in the service we deliver. To reach the highest level of quality, we continuously look beyond the strengths of our packaging. We are unique in our sector, thanks to our dedicated in-house quality department, who guarantee the quality of our products and service. Quality requires constant attention and investment. As such, our quality team also expanded in 2018. We now have 3 international Quality Managers who work on our Quality Strategy and Global quality initiatives and support our 11 local Quality Managers.

Audited and approved in high care food segment
The food industry faces a lot of challenges when it comes to food safety, especially in terms of the choice of packaging. Only a few types of packaging and production locations meet the strict food safe requirements. In 2018 multiple top-5 players in among others the dairy industry audited and approved our FIBC production location in Bangladesh – Dutch-Bangla Pack Ltd. (DBPL) – and Shankar Packagings, our long-term production partner in India for the manufacturing of their high-care food FIBCs. A beautiful reward for our commitment to quality, multiple investments in our state-of-the-art cleanrooms and our Foodsafe Assurance Programme.
