Food and Beverage Hygiene
Beverage Production and Brewing
It is a fact that the Beverage industry is a highly globalized market, primarily controlled by large multi-national corporations that possess globally recognized and highly esteemed brands. While this statement is also applicable to the Brewing sector, numerous local premium brands have managed to sustain their operations amidst the industry’s consolidation, and are experiencing increasing success within their respective national markets.
The value of these companies is reflected in their national or international brands, motivating their pursuit of the highest level of quality and consistency across their products, regardless of where they are produced. To maintain consistent and high-quality products, it is crucial to partner with experts who are located where the products are made and can deliver reliable programs that produce results.

Meat/Food Processing
Food Processing
Food Processing is a diverse sector which extends from the primary processing of meats to the more complex, high care areas of Ready-to-Eat and partially prepared convenience meals. The Food market is very much local and reflects not only local tastes and specialties but also ethnic diversity, novel products and shelf life challenges. Product development is rapid and sometimes short-lived, leading to a high number of new introductions and process complexity. New lines, faster and more flexible production methods, more effective supply chain interaction and exacting legislation put a huge demand on the processor’s quality assurance procedures.
The wide range of processes in the food industry creates a significant risk potential, necessitating strict adherence to safety standards and regulated procedures. It is the legal responsibility of all food processors to produce food that is wholesome, meets the necessary quality standards, and is safe for consumption. Thus, good management and control are imperative at every site to ensure that all factors that contribute to food safety operate consistently and effectively.
This level of complexity and diversity requires a Hygiene Partner of integrity – a recognised and dependable partner such as GPM. We, in GPM, have embraced this responsibility and have continually developed a wealth of programmes and services with the help of our suppliers that deliver consistent Food Safety wherever the production site may be throughout the world.
From the time an employee enters the plant through a Hygiene Sluice, we:
- Facilitate conformance to internal and statutory quality and safety standards
- Ensure environmental and personal hygiene procedures
- Provide management tools that oversee all hygiene interventions
- Provide a continuous level of innovation to meet changing requirements
Agriculture
Food Safety starts at the farm – at the very beginning of the food chain. Healthy animals and quality crops are pre-requisites for the production of safe and wholesome food.
Modern farming regimes rely on a knowledge-intensive production process with a high degree of efficiency and professional management. Modern farming also requires high standards of hygiene with a particular focus on infection control and the prevention of cross contamination. For the farmer, tailored bio-security and hygiene solutions are vital for a farm’s sustainable success.
With its motto “Prevention is better than cure”, the European Union’s new Animal Health Strategy (2007–2013) explicitly endorses higher levels of farm hygiene as a key driver to public health, food safety, more sustainable farming practices and animal welfare. Preventive hygiene is not only better than cure; it is also proven to be a lot cheaper.
For many years, our suppliers have been the trusted partner of the farming community throughout the world. We are committed to developing and delivering individual solutions that meet our customers’ exact requirements in an effective, efficient and economical way.
Our specific products have been designed to:
- Protect animal health and improve animal welfare
- Increase farm output and control or reduce costs
- Protect the quality of the produced product and ensure a higher degree of Food Safety
