DOWNERS
GROVE, Ill., Dec. 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Markem-Imaje, part of Dover
(NYSE: DOV) and a global provider of end-to-end supply chain
solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, announced that
it has received the BRC Global Standard (BRCGS) Grade AA Packaging
Materials Certification. This award reflects the exceptional
standards at the Markem-Imaje manufacturing site for Continuous
Inkjet (CIJ) inks in Bourg-Lès-Valence, France. Markem-Imaje is the first coding
company in Europe to achieve a BRC
Global Standard.
"The BRC standard is one of the most prestigious certifications
applicable to marking and coding ink production," says Mark Rapposelli, Vice President Product
Development and Engineering at Markem-Imaje. "This certification
demonstrates the commitment of Markem-Imaje to innovating and
satisfying both increasing demand by customers and consumers for
the highest levels of food safety and compliance of marking and
coding."
The certification was issued for two major processes performed
at the Markem-Imaje CIJ manufacturing site in
Bourg-Lès-Valence:
- Inks and inkjet printer additives for coding and marking
with direct or indirect food contact; and
- Inks and additives for marking on primary and secondary
packaging of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other
products.
This certification comes just one year after Markem-Imaje
received a BRCGS Grade A Packaging Materials Certification, a
market segment first within Europe. The Packaging Materials Global
Standard was the first to be recognized by the Global Food Safety
Initiative (GFSI) and has become the global industry benchmark, not
only used by food packaging producers but also by producers of
packaging for all applications across the supply chain.
"We are very proud of this certification, which is a clear
demonstration of the hard work and dedication of our
Bourg-Lès-Valence team to implementing the highest standards
market-wide, Rapposelli added. "Markem-Imaje serves many leading
brands, and we are constantly innovating to meet market demands. We
intend to implement this standard at all of our ink manufacturing
sites."
BRCGS is a globally recognized benchmark designed to assure
consumers that products are safe, legally compliant, and of high
quality. The certification is recognized by the Global Food Safety
Initiative, which assists food producers worldwide in increasing
consumer and partner trust in and through the entire supply
chain.
