Certified quality for fats, oils & proteins for food and cosmetics

Transparency and traceability are central elements of our quality assurance. Complete documentation, batch-specific analyses and the storage of retention samples support the verification and traceability of our products.

Depending on the product, we provide the following documents with every delivery:

We leave nothing to chance when it comes to quality: qualified employees carry out rigorous incoming goods inspections, which include sensory evaluation by our sensory panel, testing in our in-house laboratory and residue analyses by external, accredited laboratories. In our laboratory, we test defined standard parameters for every batch, such as density, refractive index, peroxide value (POV) and acid value (AV), in order to assess the oxidation and spoilage status of oils and fats against the respective product specifications. Using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR), we examine the fatty acid composition of selected oils and test the constituents of our plant-based proteins, which supports the assessment of composition and quality. These tests help us to assess the consistency of incoming goods and to identify possible deviations at an early stage. In addition, we have the fatty acid composition of selected products determined by external, accredited laboratories, where we also test for contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, plasticisers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH).

For customers in the cosmetics, food and pharmaceutical industries, raw material quality, suitable processing methods and reliable quality assurance are crucial: long-standing supplier relationships and sound purchasing experience help us to select suitable raw goods carefully, while proper transport and appropriate storage make a significant contribution to the quality of the end product. Processing is always tailored to the desired properties and intended use of the oil. We offer both natural and specifically further processed oils, tailored individually to specific customer requirements.

We have developed and implemented a quality management system based on ISO 22000 (DIN EN ISO 22000), whose effectiveness we continuously improve in order to ensure customer satisfaction by meeting their requirements.

Numerous interlinked processes and their interactions are continually adapted and coordinated in the interests of our partners in the cosmetics and food industries. In our quality management manual, we have defined criteria and methods to ensure the control and effective execution of these processes. Outsourced processes have also been identified and are monitored accordingly.

A high level of transparency regarding the quality of our products is very important to us – we are therefore happy to provide further information on request. For us, quality also means handling customer requirements and quality questionnaires reliably and promptly.

Short internal communication channels allow us to respond flexibly to a wide range of enquiries, and we are also happy to take on special orders. As a particular service, we offer sample shipping: this makes it easy to get to know new or established products and test them for trial purposes – before placing a larger order.
