Quality by Prevention

Preventive measures are an integral part for reaching highest quality.

 

Quality is a Challenge

The quality assurance connected with the respective power has the ability of recognising quality problems, developing suggestions for solutions and monitoring corrective measures.

Quality Certificates

After implementing a respective quality management system the company was certified according to the norm EN ISO 9001:2008.

Due to various requirements the existing system was extended by a special standard in the year 2005. This so-called FAMI QS – European Code of Practice for Feed Additive and Premixture Operators – is a special quality standard (analogous to the Dutch standard GMP+) for animal feed additive producers and was published as a set of standards in 2004 by the lobby for European feed producers (FEFANA), which is based in Brussels.

The preparation of these standards is based on the specifications of the regulation 183/2005/EC “Requirements to feed hygiene” and contains a combination of the requirements of ISO 9001:2008 with the additional obligation for introducing an HACCP concept.

Pharma GMP/cGMP: In our pharma plant we are authorised to produce lactic acid bacteria and mixtures from lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria as active substances according to the Directive 2003/94/EC and the GMP Guideline for active substances (Art. 47 of Directive 2001/83/EC and Art. 51 of Directive 2001/82/EC).
