Manufacturing top quality products has always
been our top priority. To achieve this, we have
implemented sound engineering policies which we
are constantly improving. Today, our idea of
processes includes not only manufacturing
policies but also business and management
processes. Supporting these processes are
stringent quality assurance procedures and a
comprehensive system of internal audits.

Details of our ISO certification
In chronological order, our Business Units were
certified on the following dates:

The Flexible Packaging Division was the
first division to be certified under ISO
9001 in 1995. |
 |
This was followed by the certification
of the Carton Business Unit in 1997, |

By the year 2000, the whole organization had
been certified under ISO 9001 and a sequence of
acquiring certification renewals had been
successfully put into place.
Continuous Improvement
The first ISO 9001 certification in 1995 was
also made the basis of the ultimate goal of
total quality management. In 2000, the concept
of Quality Improvement Teams (QIT) was
introduced in various departments. There are 57
QITs today, working on the Japanese principle of
continuous incremental improvement called
KAIZEN. Their performance is also monitored
quarterly and cash awards and certificates of
achievement given to the top performing team.
