Finnish converting plants granted cert

Pyroll's contract converting plants in Valkeakoski Holmi and in Siltakylä, Finland, were granted the ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certificates in December 2010. ISO 9001 is the internationally recognised standard for the quality management of businesses, and ISO 22000 is a food safety management system, which helps organisations in the food chain to provide safe products for the food industry and specifies hygiene requirements to be fulfilled. The plants were certified by Inspecta Finland, a member of the international Inspecta Group.

The Siltakylä converting plant´s operations include sheet cutting and rewinding of paper and paperboard. Its annual capacity is 50,000 tonnes. The Valkeakoski unit focuses on sheet cutting and converts some 120,000 tonnes of paper and paperboard annually. Pyroll´s other converting units are preparing for certification processes as well.
