The environment and quality are the number one criteria in the creation of a Björk product. Therefore experts on environmental legislation, quality and purchasing are integrated in our production teams. Together we not only ensure that your product meets applicable requirements and legislations but also try to exceed them. In order to ensure us and our customers that our products are of high quality, we and our product manufactures work after and comply with multiple regulations and certifications. The certification helps to constantly improve ourselves and our products and to maintain a high level of product safety. Quality is the result of an optimization of each step in the product realization process: reliable recipes, the best raw materials, raw material control, packaging development, inspections, fine-tuning and a continuous evaluation of each production step. Every little aspect is important for the quality of the products that end up with the consumer.
