Controlled production from site to site


Thanks to our global alignment efforts, we’re able to support a controlled production transfer between our sites, including:

 

  • Uniform systems, processes, and customer interfaces to help safeguard consistency
  • Vertically integrated service centres providing complete formulations, from nutrients to the finished packaged product
  • Consolidated global supply chain networks, adaptable to regional and local regulatory requirements
  • Uniform analytical and validation capabilities to certify products according to customer requirements

 

As we strive for continuous improvement, we share our KPIs and routinely exchange best practices between our manufacturing sites.


Manufacturing site quality

Alongside our ingredients-sourcing expertise and diligence, we’ve developed premix blending facilities with your product goals in mind. Our global manufacturing facilities are well-equipped to meet food production and infant nutrition standards, resulting in a superior premix every time.

Facility access

Transparency and accountability are essential to building confidence in our products, services, and overall food safety and quality management. Therefore, our customers are always welcome to visit the facilities at any of our sites to see our production processes, controls, and premix quality management processes in person.



Quality management as a tool for compliance


Prinova's premix quality management expertise is a powerful tool for ensuring food and infant food production safety compliance. With our experience and understanding of regulatory requirements, our team of experts has the knowledge and skills to navigate complex compliance issues. Additionally, our commitment to continuous improvement and staying up to date with evolving global regulations allows us to give our customers guidance and support where needed, ensuring their products meet the highest quality and compliance standards.



Validated methods and equipment

Our comprehensive quality control laboratories, research and development labs, and in-house testing all contribute to improving quality. Our methods have been developed and validated to accommodate varying concentration levels of nutrients with a broad spectrum of detection levels. We specifically work to eliminate any possible matrix interference inherent to premixes. 

 

This expertise is critical to ensure the reliability of the testing performed – a result that consumer-goods testing methods can’t always achieve on concentrated blends. We routinely support customers through validation and stability studies to secure compliance with finished products. 

 

Our state-of-the-art laboratories offer a wide range of testing capabilities, such as UPLC, HPLC, FT-IR, ICP-OES, GC, and GS-MS. Please contact us to discuss your specific testing requirements. Additionally, we implement DocuWare and LIMS management systems for data analysis, storage, and retrieval that are reliable and secure.


Analytical expertise

Our analytical chemists and laboratory technicians are experts in their fields. Their education, qualifications, and long-standing experience in the food and pharmaceutical industries provide excellent technical support to our quality-assurance efforts. To establish the reliability and repeatability of the methods used, our labs take part in multiple annual proficiency tests globally and locally.


Certificate of analysis

Our teams verify all data reported on each Certificate of Analysis. Once approved, you’ll receive a digital copy of your CoA via email, allowing you to get the CoA to your quality department before the shipment arrives. Additionally, you’ll receive a physical copy with your shipment. The content of the certificate is fully customisable to meet customer needs, and all results are fully traceable.

They do this through selection, validation, verification, monitoring, auditing, and approval of suppliers, employee training, and facility maintenance. 


Quality control

Our quality control teams evaluate materials from formulation to final packaging to confirm they meet the required specifications. They record and maintain data, monitor product manufacturing, and provide final approval. The main focus areas include analytical, physical, organoleptic, and packaging parameters for compliance.


Quality inspection

In addition to QA, our quality inspectors monitor all incoming and outgoing products and ingredients. They conduct tests, analyse measurements, and oversee production processes, working closely with the operations department to maintain food safety and quality management.


Regulatory quality

Our regulatory teams are responsible for the development, completeness, and accuracy of technical data for raw materials, finished products, packaging, and vendor evaluation. They certify that all raw materials and finished products meet applicable governing regulations and infant food production standards where applicable. Technical data is available and delivered to internal and external customers.
