ESS awarded with an AA grade BRC Agents and Brokers certification (update 05/’22)
We are proud to announce that European Spice Services has recently been awarded an AA grade BRC Agents & Brokers certification. Acquiring this certification means that BRC has assessed the processes and systems that we have in place to manage product safety, quality and legal compliance required within the food industry.
Through the BRC agents and brokers certification, we want to reinforce, to our suppliers and customers, our long-term commitment to manage responsibly all our products from origin to destination.
The team part of this company milestone shares their views on the recently awarded certification:
Bart De Putter – QA & Technical Sales Manager:
“With the BRC A&B certification, we now position ourselves among the leading quality driven supply partners in the industry. By having the right procedures in place, we strived to improve our quality standards that are essential to operate in a quality driven market.
Our work does not stop here, we aim to elevate our quality standards for both processes and products, aiming to optimise our services upstream and downstream”
Wouter De Wolf – Plant Manager:
“When I joined European Spice Services in 2020, we started reviewing all operating procedures in the warehouse. In 2021, we decided to invest in this quality certification. We included our warehouse as part of the assessment and as an essential part of our process.
Since COVID and global supply disruptions increased the demand for spot deliveries, we require rigorous quality procedures at the warehouse. Improving the quality system and implementing additional BRC requirements brought new insights to our operations and business model.
With the BRC certification, our customers can be assured that products entering and leaving our warehouse are dealt with care and stored under the highest quality standards recognized within the food industry”.
