BRC Storage and Distribution (*)
Quality and food safety are of crucial importance for you as a company involved in the storage and transport of food products or packaging material for the food industry. Purchasers of your products require you to offer guarantees of your firm commitment to quality and food safety. Are you able to provide these guarantees and are they accepted worldwide? Is this confirmed by an independent third party?
