Riverside, MI – While Monte Package Company is keeping busy supplying North American growers, shippers, and marketers during the heart of the growing season, they already have one major accomplishment under their belt. The company engaged in a detail oriented food safety protocol, pursuant to their initiative to become certified in food safety as an agricultural packaging and supply distributor for the produce industry. Engaging with Primus Labs, MPC now has their nationwide distribution network 100% Primus certified for packaging and supply storage and distribution.
“It is an exciting accomplishment for our company and our employees. Food safety and facility security is of the upmost importance in today’s business arena – our team has done a great job preparing and maintaining so we can provide confidence and quality to our customers. -Tony Monte, President
The company had each of its 3 facilities certified through Primus’ 14.09 Packaging Audit, which is tailored specifically for companies that warehouse and distribute packaging materials. The audit focuses on key factors in food safety such as building security, employee best practices, and inventory traceability. Monte Package invested heavily in infrastructure and employee development to meet and exceed the standards set out by Primus.
“We are thrilled to acknowledge the certification for our company’s facilities in both Michigan and Florida. With the recent developments of the FSMA and regulations tighter than ever in the agricultural industry, it was vital for us to be able to provide the facilities and documentation required of us by our customer base. These projects all have one end goal, which is to be able to better serve our customers.”-Sam Monte,
Director of Operations
