NEENAH, WI—Menasha, one of the industry’s largest independent, retail focused packaging and merchandising solutions providers, is excited to announce it has yet again received multiple quality certifications and re certifications for its plants following extensive facility audits throughout 2016. Updated Menasha certifications and re certifications include:

- The Forest Stewardship Council Certification (FSC)
- The International Organization for Standardization-9001 Certification (ISO-9001)

“We are proud that our Chicago plant received a BRC-GFSI Certification for the first time and that several of our facilities have received an AIB score above 900 out of a possible 1,000 for at least five years in a row,” Lloyd Kitchen, quality assurance and compliance coordinator, said of the Menasha certifications. “Our facilities aim to not only achieve certifications, but also improve each year.”
Menasha’s Neenah, Philadelphia and Hartford plants, as well as its Midwest Fulfillment Center and PPS facility in Neenah, have consistently achieved an AIB score above 900.
