MM Packaging Ibérica’s AA+ BRCGS Audit Result Underscores Value for Brand Owners
An unannounced BRCGS audit awarded its highest distinction – an AA+ BRC-Pack 2009/0002 rating – to MM Packaging Ibérica. For those wondering what does BRCGS stand for, it means Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards, a globally recognised system for ensuring safety, quality, and consistency in packaging. The recognition highlights that the plant quality assurance team is ready for any surprise, and that quality systems and procedures are always running at optimal levels. At the close of the three-day audit, the BRCGS auditor congratulated the team, noting that this was the first AA+ he has awarded under the latest version of the standard.
Why MM Packaging Ibérica Excels in BRCGS Compliance
For brand owners, such certification provides third-party verification that their packaging suppliers meet internationally recognised standards for safety, quality, and consistency. The BRCGS Packaging Materials Standard – recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative – assesses areas such as hygiene, traceability, risk management and legal compliance.
By achieving the highest AA+ certification, a manufacturer like MM Packaging Ibérica proves that its systems and processes align with the same expectations held by major international brands. This rigour carries weight on the market: seven of the ten top global retailers accept or specify BRCGS certification, and half of the top 25 global manufacturers either specify or are certified to it.*
