Lindner Logistics Becomes an “A+” Rated BRC Compliant Company

December 8th, 2024

Introduction

At Lindner Logistics, we’ve always believed in going above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. Our commitment to quality, safety, and responsibility has now been recognized on a global scale.

We are proud to announce that Lindner Logistics has achieved an “A+” rating under the BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard—a significant milestone that reflects our dedication to excellence.

For nearly 25 years, the BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard has set the bar for food manufacturing, processing, and packaging companies around the world. It’s not just a guideline—it’s a way to ensure excellence in every step of the food production process. From safeguarding ingredient quality to ensuring safe handling and packaging, these standards are designed to inspire trust and confidence across the entire supply chain.

What is the BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard?

The BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard is a prestigious international benchmark for food quality, safety, and responsibility. For nearly 25 years, it has guided companies involved in food ingredient manufacturing, processing, and packing to uphold the highest standards across their operations.

BRCGS grades companies on a scale ranging from “AA” (highest) to “Uncertified.”

An unannounced audit, which evaluates a company’s ability to meet standards under normal, day-to-day operations, adds a “+” to the grade, signifying an extra level of trust and accountability.
