Our Advent Calendar is so packed that Day 9 actually takes a look at something we did yesterday but couldn’t fit in! In what has now become a yearly tradition, Silvia Riondino Rocha delivered an insightful 90-minute seminar to the future food safety leaders of Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Piacenza. The session was titled “Digitalisation Journeys of the Food Industry” and looked at the current state of the industry and challenges that many food manufacturers experience, and how Safefood 360 supports their digital transformation. This included: - Industry summary - Safefood Solutions - Implementation Options and digital support - Benefits of deployment - Fundamental prerequisites - Definitions and key industry challenges - Specific clauses with examples from BRCGS - Practical steps for effective Root Cause Analysis - Nonconformities and proactive steps to mitigating their reoccurrence Although this was a closed session, we are making the full presentation available as part of our Christmas promotions as we believe knowledge should be available to all. Contact us for a full copy of the sample document above, and thanks again to Giorgia Spigno for having us. Auguriamo un Buon Natale a tutti! Siamo entusiasti di seguire i progressi degli studenti mentre continuano a costruire le loro carriere per migliorare il futuro della sicurezza alimentare. #UniversitàCattolica #Safefood360 #DigitalTransformation #FoodSeminar

Another NEW Member! Pakpower Ltd is a family run business that was established over 20 years ago running out of a small office. 10 years ago Pakpower Ltd decided to specialise in high performance films which uses increased layering technology, creating stronger polymer binds which gives it increased strength and a better puncture/tear resistance. Pakpower’s aim is to provide a thinner stronger film than you are currently using whilst offering a better product. A thinner film means more meters per roll and more pallets wrapped which ultimately comes with a cost saving. Although Pakpower has grown exponentially over the last 10 years, it still holds its family-built business values of putting the customer first. Rather than just providing quotes over the phone, Pakpower sends in a film specialist to your site or sites that will review your current wrapping process and offer help and advice to help reduce your pallet wrap consumption within your business. This may be via a film change or settings change to best optimise wrapping results.
