N.E.W. Plastics attains SQF Level 2 certification

N.E.W. Plastics Corp., Luxemburg, Wis., said it attained Safe Quality Food (SQF) Level 2 certification from the Safe Quality Food Institute to produce rigid plastic containers. The company said it is one of only a few rigid plastic manufacturers in the Midwest to attain certification.

The certification gives N.E.W. Plastics an advantage in fulfilling FDA's Food Safety Modernization Act requirements and the ability to produce custom food-quality plastic containers applicable for food, nutraceutical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies. The company said it is able to deliver high-quality custom blow mold design, as well as a quick turnaround, to Midwest manufacturers.

"Our SQF certification will give our customers confidence that they are providing a safe and high-quality product to consumers," said Mike Rekizke, president and CEO. "The certification is designed to protect consumers, brands, suppliers, manufacturers and retailers from food safety incidents and recalls."
