Paradip Nowax

In-house production of colors

Brand identity and shelf appeal are critical in today’s highly competitive retail environment. Cheese wax can make an important contribution to product image and consumer awareness and therefore an increasing number of producers are choosing to promote their premium products with colored waxes. In parallel with the increasing use of wax, we also see a growth in requests for well controlled, specific colors across a wider color space to offer clear product differentiation. As market leader our Paradip cheese waxes are known within the industry for their excellent consistency in color reproducibility, color uniformity during coating and stability against sedimentation.

Our waxes cover a number of standard primary colors such as yellow, orange, black, white, blue, brown, red, purple and green, but can also be developed to specific pantone shades.

Our ability to deliver such a broad range of colors to such tight tolerances and stability levels is unique in the industry. This is only possible because of our unique in-house pigment formulation facility, which is specifically dedicated to support the cheese wax range. All colorants and pigments are food grade qualities and we offer specific products for different regulatory requirements.

Our cheese wax experts will help you selecting the appropriate grade for your application.

Food-safe production

FSSC 22000 certified facilities

Paramelt is involved in a number of critical industries where consumer safety is of utmost importance.

Our Paracera range for cosmetics & personal care, Paraflex products for direct food contact packaging as well as waxes used as food ingredients and our Paradip waxes for cheese coating all require their own specific, stringent manufacturing criteria in order to meet the necessary regulatory standards. Even for ‘end of line’ packaging hot melts, such as our Excelta and Plastomelt grades, food producers have ever increasing expectations for their regulatory compliance and food safety status.

As a result of these demanding product requirements, we have invested heavily in our operating facilities and procedures, using comprehensive standards of HACCP and GMP to achieve market leading levels.

To validate the suitability of these processes and take advantage of industry best practice, Paramelt has taken the step to go beyond general compliance with GMP and ISO 9001 to certify a number of their facilities to an internationally accredited standard. Whilst many standards, such as AIB and BRC are common in the food industry, the decision was taken to certify to the most demanding and globally recognised FSSC 22000 standard to ensure the widest possible acceptance across the diverse range of industries we serve.

What is FSSC 22000

The FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification provides a comprehensive framework for effectively managing an organization’s food safety responsibilities. The approach is built on existing ISO standards and is fully recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

The standard is built from the ground up based on a comprehensive risk assessment approach, to identify critical vulnerabilities throughout the entire production and supply chain and ensure effective control measures are implemented to minimise risk. As a result of this detailed analysis Paramelt has implemented a wide range of measures to guarantee the best product security, such as:

Ensuring food safety

Paramelt’s triple approach allows brand owners and retailers to make conscious choices about the components employed in their food packaging materials.

The 3 critical elements are:

• food grade facilities
• selected food contact materials
• controlled raw material streams

This combination provides customers the confidence that their products meet the highest possible standards of food safety.
