Our commitment to outstanding quality standards
At Nedstar, quality is more than a requirement; it’s a core pillar of how we operate. Because our raw materials and specialty ingredients are used in a wide range of industries worldwide, we don’t just meet international standards and certifications, we aim to exceed them.
When you source from Nedstar, you benefit from rigorous quality controls, strict compliance procedures, and a carefully managed process that safeguards both organisational and product excellence.
How Nedstar guarantees high product quality
As a supplier and distributor of global commodities and specialties, our Quality Management team ensures that our vendors meet the highest quality benchmarks and adhere to the necessary quality certifications during the initial onboarding process. We conduct annual evaluations of all our suppliers, covering products and services, against the key criteria established by our internal and certifying agencies standards. Additionally, we aid our clients with any quality-related issues that may emerge.
Test product from new partner producers
Before starting to collaborate with new producers, we make sure to thoroughly test the product before offering it to our clients. Nedstar also collaborates with organic producers globally. Our organic products are tested and certified according to European and US standards, guaranteeing the highest quality at the lowest cost for the planet.
Yearly product and distribution check-ins
All our products and operations comply with the BRCGSA and ISO9001 standards, as well as other standards enforced in economic regions such as the European Union. Nonetheless, we carry out regular checks to facilitate that our product fulfils all our quality standards before reaching our clients’ destination to discover possible quality risks and preventing them from impacting our operations and product.
Quality support of clients
Want to be convinced by our product without commitment? Ask your Nedstar commercial manager to send you one of our product samples to see our quality for yourself! With every bulk order, our Commercial and Quality team is always at our clients’ disposal to enquire about quality questions and take care of quality concerns as soon as possible.
An organisation-wide quality promise
Nedstar's team of commercial and logistics professionals undergo frequent training to adhere to and implement Nedstar's Quality Standards. We have widely adopted relevant Quality Documents and training sessions, including the Approval of New Suppliers and Control Measures to ensure a standardised approach to work. Through consistent feedback mechanisms, Nedstar promptly addresses quality concerns, minimising the risk of contamination and its potential spread.
"At Nedstar, quality extends far beyond our products. It’s rooted in ethical business practices and the robust internal processes that guide everything we do."
