We excel as a food-certified warehouse provider by leveraging advanced equipment, employee training, and sanitation procedures. Additionally, we invite independent authorities to audit the conditions and performance of our facilities and certify they operate according to SQF Food Grade standards.
Progressive Logistics is proud to have obtained the Safe Quality Food Certification. Also called the SQF certification, which shows our ability to manage food safety risks and provide a secure environment for our food industry customers.
Why Work With A SQF Certified Warehouse?
Why Does the SQF Certification Matter?
Administered by the SQF Institute, an SQF certification demonstrates compliance with all processes and requirements defined in the SQF code. It’s a rigorous process involving independent and impartial facility assessments to determine conformity of equipment, processes, and systems to identified standards.
The SQF Food Safety Certification is recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative. The GFSI identifies and standardizes requirements crucial for food safety management systems. Since GFSI standards are used worldwide, the SQF is one of the most sought-after certifications available.
