Platform for the food and beverage industry
In the food industry, hygiene is an absolute requirement. Everyone who prepares, processes and sells food must meet strict hygiene requirements. This means that all employees, active in this environment, must wear impeccable and certified hygiene clothing. Producers who prefer to outsource the specific and time-consuming care required by these work clothes can turn to a professional textile service provider. MEWA provides them with reliable, safe and functional workwear that meets all legal hygiene requirements on a continuous basis. Outsourcing this proves not only time- and cost-efficient. MEWA's smart full-service textile management system is an excellent example in the textile care industry. Thus, the expectations of sustainable entrepreneurs within the food industry are also fulfilled.
The legal requirements for professional clothing in the food sector are very complex. According to the provisions of the IFS Food (International Featured Standards), processes must ensure that employees' clothing is 100% hygienically clean and must not pose any risk of contamination to produced food. MEWA's services support company management in closing their hygiene process.
For this purpose, MEWA works according to the RABC (Risk Analysis and Biocontamination Control System) system. This is a hygiene management and control system used by MEWA, in which the clothing undergoes a special washing and care process. The care of the clothing and the entire process is subject to the quality standard EN 14065. The treatment process guarantees microbiological purity, maximum safety and the highest quality standard in textile hygiene.
In short, MEWA's hygiene clothing fits into any HACCP concept and contributes to hygienic safety within the food industry.
At MEWA, no concessions are made when it comes to hygienic quality. "A high level of hygiene is inherent in our work process," emphasizes IR. Danny Vermeir, responsible for environmental and process technology at MEWA Servibel. "Food producers rent their hygiene clothing from us and we reliably bring, collect, treat and replace it. In addition to a disinfecting washing process in professional washing facilities and post-treatment of the laundry, we also provide documented and validated processing of the hygiene clothing. MEWA takes care of the process from A to Z. From washing to delivery to the clothing locker.
MEWA's hygiene clothing is personalized. Everyone on the team gets their own outfit that are delivered back to the right person after a wash. A bar code ensures this process. If desired, employees' names can also be embroidered or sewn onto the clothing. In addition, MEWA offers numerous products that comply with hygiene regulations required in sanitary blocks and other premises. The MEWA Textilesharing concept thus ensures that customers can fully concentrate on their core business."
