It’s quality grade ‘A’ again for SGL Co-packing!

June 11, 2015 - PRLog -- SGL Co-packing Limited, the Nelson, Lancashire-based contract packer and contract manufacturer, has been awarded grade ‘A’ in the British Retail Consortium’s (BRC) Global Standard in Food Safety (version 6) for 2015.  SGL Co-packing is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Keswick Enterprises Group – the UK-based supply chain services specialist.

The Standard specifies the safety, quality and operational criteria required from food manufacturers, and SGL Co-packing has achieved grade ‘A’ consistently in both version 5 and version 6 since 2010.  Version 6 places greater emphasis on good manufacturing practice and auditing excellence over earlier versions.

Margaret Bell, General Manager of SGL Co-packing, commented: “Achieving consistent success in meeting BRC Global Standards is a key part of measuring and validating our quality performance.  It supports our numerous other quality awards, as well as feedback from blue-chip customers.

“We welcome the introduction of version 7 of the Standard in 2016, and are already working towards meeting its new challenges.”
