Industrial Packaging receives pandemic preparedness certification
Industrial Packaging of Webster has been designated as the first U.S.-based company to achieve pandemic preparedness certification through AIB International, a food supply chain support group based in Kansas.
Industrial Packaging is a customized contract packaging, technical services provider and packaging materials and machinery supplier for manufacturers, as well as distributors of foods, consumer and industrial goods.
AIB announced the certification on Dec. 15, praising Industrial Packaging for how it responded to the pandemic. According to AIB, Industrial Packaging quickly changed layouts in itsemployee areas, distributed masks, bought a thermal scanner, installed plexiglass barriers, as well as made use of hands-free doors, sinks and sanitizers. These changes, according to AIB, were then communicated to customers, contractors, suppliers and employees.
“To have a packaging company step up and make this commitment for their operation and employees, as well as the benefit of their food and beverage customers, is really exceptional. Even during the ongoing pandemic, certification provides assurance for their customers that Industrial Packaging is committed to bringing the highest standards of integrity to the global food and beverage supply chain,” said Steve Robert, global vice president of sales/marketing and product innovation at AIB.
AIB launched the pandemic preparedness certification program in July. In order for Industrial Packaging to attain it, the company needed to show proficiency in five areas, including: pandemic crisis management, supply chain management, intermittent operations planning management, health crisis mitigation measures and management, and pre-requisite program review.
