The certification is a globally recognized benchmark that validates that products are safe, legally compliant and high quality.

We are very proud of this recognition and the hard work and commitment of our team. We ultimately expect to achieve this certification at all of our ink manufacturing sites," said Mark Rapposelli, Vice President of Product Development and Engineering at Markem-Imaje.
Recognized by the international industrial sector's Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), the certification helps Markem-Imaje's food-producing customers worldwide to safely build consumer and partner trust throughout the entire supply chain. Markem-Imaje's Grade A certification demonstrates a commitment to food safety and compliance with marking and coding inks above and beyond the company's competitors, which is increasingly important amid heightened consumer focus on food fraud, hygiene, product safety and supply chain transparency.
