Howa Sangyo Co., Ltd. has obtained Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 for its Higata, Kyoto and Narashino factories. This certification is approved by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), a worldwide business-driven initiative for the development of food safety management systems.

Given consumers’ growing demands for food safety, in recent years businesses that handle foods find themselves needing to prove their ability to ensure food safety. As a company that mainly manufactures and sells food packaging materials, we have always maintained a strong commitment to hygiene controls meeting the same standards as food manufacturers. We believe that obtaining FSSC 22000 and visualizing the reliability of our food safety commitment will provide an even greater sense of security and added peace of mind to customers who use our packaging materials.

As a company that forms part of the food supply chain, we will continue to provide products with even greater attention to safety and hygiene.
