Markem-Imaje (MI), provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, has been granted the BRC Global Standard Grade A packaging material certification.
The certification has been successfully obtained by MI’s manufacturing site for Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) inks in Bourg-Lès-Valence, France.
The certification confirms that MI meets the leading standards for manufacturing practice set out by the BRCGS and follows a rigorous assessment by a third-party certification body. The certification is a globally recognised benchmark designed to reassure consumers that products are safe, legally compliant, and of high quality. Recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), it both helps and enables food producers worldwide to safely build consumer and partner trust throughout the entire supply chain.
Mark Rapposelli, vice president product development and engineering at MI said, ‘The BRC standard is one of most ambitious certifications applicable to the production process for marking and coding inks and our goal now is to implement this at all our ink manufacturing sites. We are very proud of this certification which is a recognition of the hard work and commitment of our Bourg-Lès-Valence team.
‘We will continue with our drop-on-demand inks that are manufactured in Keene, US. This certification comes at the perfect time as we welcome customers to our booth at All4Pack in Paris. Unlike other marking and coding suppliers, it proves both to our customers and the market our commitment to food safety and compliance of marking and coding inks.’
