At Supertape, quality is not a distinguishing feature, but a basic requirement. Our adhesive tapes deliver consistent performance and meet high standards, including FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001. With a focus on innovation and sustainability, we develop solutions that meet the needs of today and tomorrow. Our involvement in programs like SMETA, Ecovadis, and certifications like FSC and ISCC-Plus underscore our commitment to responsible business practices.
We aim to perform all our tape activities right, efficiently, and on time in one go, from sourcing raw materials to delivering the final product. Every step in the chain impacts the quality, delivery reliability, and pricing of our tapes. Striking the right balance between efficient processes and the strength of our people is essential.
For the food industry, we produce tapes in an FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001 certified environment, according to EC Directive No. 1935/2004. Stringent incoming inspections, pest prevention, and hygiene, cleaning, and glass breakage procedures prevent contamination during production. Our Foodsafe tapes are suitable for direct and indirect food contact and comply with all legal product and process requirements.
Quality starts with the awareness of our employees - at the machines, on the forklifts and behind the desks. In practice and through training, we make them aware of the impact of their work. The quality process ends with comprehensive controls: before, during and after production we test the quality of the raw materials, the tape properties (according to the applicable industry standards: [AFERA](https://afera.com/technical-centre/afera-test-methods/) Finat, ISO and DIN).

Quality also includes ethical business conduct. Every three years, we undergo a SMETA-4-Pillar audit, which assesses labor conditions, human rights, health, safety, business integrity, and the environment. SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) was developed by SEDEX, of which we have been a member since 2010. You can view our SMETA audit report via SEDEX number ZC1031655.
Supertape has been awarded a bronze medal by EcoVadis - a globally recognized sustainability assessment platform.

EcoVadis assesses over 100,000 companies worldwide annually, and with this score, Supertape ranks in the top 35% of all evaluated organizations in our sector. A great achievement that confirms we are on the right track - and motivates us to further enhance sustainability.
