UPM Raflatac has recently received Clean Industry certification for its labelstock slitting and distribution operations in Tultitlan, Mexico. To date, UPM Raflatac’s Mexico facility is the first of its kind in the label industry to be awarded this certification.
To achieve Clean Industry certification, companies must meet the requirements for environmental protection established by the Federal Attorney for Environmental Protection in Mexico. They must also undergo a systematic evaluation of manufacturing procedures and processes, identify any potential risks and successfully implement applicable preventive and corrective measures.
“We are proud to be the first labelstock supplier in the region to receive this respected honor,” says Jose Garcia, sales director and general manager, Mexico, Central America & Caribbean. “We believe that Clean Industry certification reinforces our commitment to protecting the environment and furthers our goal of becoming the number one supplier in Mexico. Achievements like this are examples of our promise to provide high-quality, sustainable label materials with the most customer-oriented service in the industry.”
