Automated packaging system specialists Schubert UK has been awarded with Benchmark Gold Accreditation for customer satisfaction. As part of the Schubert group strategy for continuous improvement, Schubert UK has also independently gained accreditation for ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001, for exceptional business and health and safety practises in the UK and Ireland. 

Previously Schubert UK has been registered under the umbrella of parent company Gerhard Schubert GmbH. However to achieve autonomy in the UK market, Schubert UK are now proud to be certified for both accreditations, following a recent assessment by an independent body.

This achievement was a direct result of the entire organisation effectively working together to develop and improve both quality and health and safety systems.  Both accreditations demonstrate Schubert's commitment to excellence in both the service to their customers as well as internal processes. It also means that customers can expect higher safety standards from Schubert whilst working at their sites.

ISO 9001 outlines strict standards for quality business processes and is complemented by OHSAS 18001, a set of rules that need continual advances in health and safety and risk management. To gain these certifications companies must implement precise management processes and meet high standards of customer-service, product quality and health and safety.

With this in place Schubert can continue to be the leading supplier of robotic packaging machinery. "This is a fantastic achievement" said David Maddern, Sales Director at Schubert UK. "ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 show our customers that we are a committed and responsible company operating to the highest standards" he added. 

Schubert UK, based in Meriden, near Coventry, produces innovative packing lines for well-known manufacturers in the food processing, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and health care sectors.
