Colbert Packaging Receives Safe Quality Food (SQF) Certification Kenosha, Wisconsin based Colbert Packaging, a leading Midwest independently-owned paperboard packaging manufacturer, announced it has qualified for SQF certifica- tion from the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQFI). The certification program offers a rigorous framework that integrates food safety and quality management princi- ples. The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) identifies SQF as an approval process for GFSI qualification and is glob- ally recognized. It aims to help manufacturers and proces- sors demonstrate their ability to produce safe, high-quality food, and ancillary products such as packaging, that meet regulatory requirements and consumer expectations. “Our pharmaceutical and consumer products custom- ers have always demanded food-safe, quality secondary packaging, and SQF certification is the preferred path,” says Colbert’s Corporate Quality Systems Manager, Nick Stober. “This certification facilitates continuous improve- ment through its structured approach.” To qualify for SQF certification, Colbert Packaging’s quality team completed more than 30 hours of SQF and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Plan) training. They conducted mock audits and GAP analysis to prepare for the rigorous and ongoing audit process. Through that process, the team demonstrated operational compliance and competency in understanding their roles in producing safe, quality products and maintaining a safe environment. Stober added, “I’d like to acknowledge the teamwork re- quired to complete documentation requirements, audits and walk-throughs, and thank our quality associates for their hard work and dedication.” Colbert’s President and COO, John Lackner said, “Achieving SQF certification supports Colbert Packaging’s ongoing commitment to serving our pharmaceutical, OTC healthcare, and consumer goods customers’ demand for high quality, safe secondary packaging.” Founded in 1959, Colbert Packaging has grown its rep- ertoire of paperboard packaging solutions into one of the most comprehensive, diverse and inventive portfolios in the industry, serving pharmaceutical, healthcare and con- sumer goods customers. Colbert’s Kenosha facility produces offset and flexog- raphic printed folding cartons, pressure-sensitive roll la- bels and package inserts; the Elkhart, Indiana operation includes folding carton production and paper tray forming.
