HEINLOTH - Logistics services according to IFS standards for the food industry

In the context of the corporate philosophy of a sustainable and strategic orientation - and in accordance with the motto just.clever.solutions - HEINLOTH Kontraktlogistik GmbH successfully confirmed the food standards that have been implemented and practised for a long time with the initial certification according to IFS Logistics 2.3 in October of this year.

“With the IFS Logistic 2.3 certification - in addition to the EU-BIO certification - we are expanding our existing integrated quality management systems and emphatically confirming our quality promise as ‘the logistic experts’ for logistics services in the areas of warehousing and value-added services across the entire supply chain”, explains Sebastian Prinzing (quality manager at HEINLOTH).

The commitment to responsible, professional and qualified action - taking into account the highest possible food hygiene and food safety - is consistently pursued by all areas of the company and enables the best possible quality and cost-effectiveness.

“The audit confirmed that we have managed to successfully and sustainably implement all requirements in our daily administrative and operational processes,” says Patrick Schmer (manager operations at HEINLOTH). "This allows us to recognise risks and opportunities at an early stage and guarantee product safety.”

“The successful certification once again demonstrates the company's own standards and awareness of its responsibility towards our customers, who benefit from the guaranteed safety of a consistently high level of quality standards", says Frederik Pleick (CEO at HEINLOTH). "Our focus is on customer requirements and we are actively committed to the business success of our customers!”
