Commitment to Food Safety

PennPac’s long-standing reputation as a leading flexible packaging film supplier is made possible by our company’s ongoing commitment to quality. From our facilities to the people who serve our customers – our focus on quality is a vital part of everything we do.

Our Facilities

Our state-of-the-art warehousing and slitting facilities in Manheim, PA and Piedmont, SC are the foundation of our sustainability efforts and commitment to quality. Both locations are certified by AIB International, a global leader in food safety training and certification.

However, our Manheim, PA facility also holds a SQF (Safe Quality Food) Certification, which is recognized by the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) as one of the highest standards in food safety.

SQF certification is important, for both customers and suppliers. Many customers (especially those who are SQF certified themselves) require suppliers to be certified. This ensures that all parties are effectively managing risk.

SQF certification is a standard recognized around the world. It complies with all necessary regulatory requirements, regardless of geographical location.

Additionally, regulations related to food safety are constantly evolving. Working with an SQF certified supplier provides peace of mind as new requirements are announced and implemented.

If you’re looking for an SQF certified partner, contact PennPac today.

Our Processes

PennPac has a number of programs and processes in place to support our quality and food safety management systems and ensure we meet or exceed industry standards. All of our internal procedures ensure that customers not only get fast order delivery but also get an exceptional-quality product every time.

Our quality protocols are based on the HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) system – an internationally recognized method of identifying and managing food safety related risk. Many of today’s leading manufacturers and vendors use the HAACP system as the foundation for their programs and for compliance with GFSI audit schemes.

Our People

PennPac’s quality-centric culture is strengthened by our team of dedicated, long-tenured, and skilled employees. Under the guidance of our Quality Assurance Manager, new team members are educated on all aspects of food safety and quality and participate in ongoing training to reinforce important topics and grow their knowledge base.

Our employees understand the important role our company plays in the food packaging supply chain and are empowered to make decisions that support our initiative to be the leading supplier of high-quality flexible packaging films.
