Empresas Polar’s International Business facilities were granted an IFS quality and safety certification renewal.
For the fourth consecutive year, International Grains and Cereal and Alimentos Polar España, both manufacturers of P.A.N. products and part of Empresas Polar’s International Business division, were awarded the IFS (International Featured Standards Food) certification, which recognizes their compliance with high standards of a food safety management system that guarantees the safety of the food they manufacture and market, while respecting the law and meeting the requirements of their customers.
“At Alimentos Polar España we are very proud of the renewal of this IFS Food v8 certification, which is an important recognition of the team’s strong commitment to the quality of our products. As part of Empresas Polar’s International Business, it is essential to ensure and maintain the highest quality standards in all our operations,” explains Rafael Leonis, Director of Operations for the Eurasia region.
International Grains and Cereal, Empresas Polar’s manufacturing facility located in Texas, obtained a score of 97.51% in the evaluation of this international certification, which represents a guarantee for customers and consumers of P.A.N. products. “At our plant, we are very proud to have such an important certification, which demonstrates our commitment to the quality of our processes and products, and which in turn allows us to access new markets that are increasingly demanding and competitive,” commented José Anzola, Director of Operations for the Americas.
Certifications such as the one granted by the IFS are part of the credentials required in international markets, both for local consumption and for export. With this renewal, the manufacturing operations in Madrid and Greenville confirm once again the quality and safety of the products in Empresas Polar’s portfolio around the world.“
