Every Smurfit-MBI Plant is certified by the American Institute of Baking (AIB). Achieving AIB's stringently monitored standards throughout all Smurfit-MBI facilities ensures a superior level of hygiene that will satisfy the needs of customers who demand that their packaging materials be produced and transported in an absolutely clean environment.

Similar in practice to ISO procedures, AIB certification requires rigorous and documented in-plant housekeeping. For Smurfit-MBI, this "next step beyond ISO" is an ongoing process that will ensure maximum quality for all customers, including food processors.

According to Tony Kadai, Smurfit-MBI's Corporate Manager of Quality, the prevention of any possible contamination or infestation from packaging materials provides the ultimate assurance for Smurfit-MBI's food processing customers.
