Innovation and Competence
To guarantee the safety of our products, our Quality
Management System according to ISO EN 9001 : 2008
and ISO 22000 : 2005 has the following core elements:

HACCP Concept
Based on the 12 HACCP stages of the codex alimentarius,
all our business sector product groups and activities
are periodically reappraised by a competent HACCP
team. This includes the grain collection centres, warehouse
keepers, and transport.

Risk Management
With the increase in networking and the speed of
market growth, making projections and risk estimates
– seen as dangers and opportunities at the same time –
are becoming indispensable for the successful management
of an enterprise. On the basis of periodic checks,
we describe the current situation, identify potential risks
and categorise them. These risks are then either avoided
through a variety of measures for each category, confi
ned, passed on to a third party, or, where unavoidable,
confronted.

GMO Safety Concept
This is our guarantee that we will continue to bring
products to the market which do not require a GMO
declaration. Most of our soy products are Cert-ID certifi
ed and thus correspond to the Basle criteria and the
requirements of the "RTRS" – Round Table on Responsible
Soy – in terms of sustainability in soy cultivation.

Monitoring Harmful Substances
The above mentioned measures are verifi ed by comprehensively
monitoring all product groups. This is our
guarantee that we will meet our responsibility with
regard to product safety, supervise our suppliers concerning
products and contract requirements, and take
preventative action on the quality of the raw materials.

Good Collecting Centre Practice
Our affi liated collection centres are equipped with a
comprehensive QM Handbook, containing binding regulations
for all relevant stages of the procedure, according
to the HACCP concept. Periodical audits in cooperation
with recognised certifying companies guarantee
that our guidelines are met.

Further Development of our Quality
Management
We attach a great deal of importance to applying innovative
and practical measures in cooperation with
our business partners, to meet the high quality requirements
of today’s food and feed production.
