At Greif, continuous improvement is more than a commitment; it is how we serve our customers every day. We are proud to announce that our Greif Falkenberg facility has achieved FSSC 22000 certification for its steel drum production line as of January.
Our Falkenberg site manufactures steel drums, jerrycans, plastic drums, and IBCs, supporting a wide range of industries across Scandinavia. As food safety requirements evolve and regulatory expectations increase, we recognized the need to expand our certified capabilities to better support customers operating in food and sensitive product markets.
What This Means for Our Customers
With FSSC 22000 certification now in place for steel drum production, we can offer steel drums suitable for food contact, produced under a globally recognized food safety management system. For customers, this provides:
- Increased confidence in packaging safety and quality
- Alignment with internationally recognized food safety standards
- Strengthened supply chain assurance
- Support in meeting evolving regulatory requirements
This milestone builds on our existing FSSC 22000 certification for IBC production, making the extension to steel drums a natural and strategic progression.
Responding to a Changing Regulatory Landscape
With new European regulations restricting BPA in food-contact materials and key compliance deadlines approaching in 2027, producers require packaging partners that are prepared for the future.
In 2025, Greif introduced RDL100FA, a BPA-free internal lacquer developed in alignment with upcoming EU regulatory requirements. Our FSSC 22000-certified steel drum production, combined with this BPA-free solution, strengthens our ability to support customers operating in regulated food markets with confidence.
As Jacob Demén, Sales Director Scandinavia & the Netherlands, shares:
“This is an important milestone for us in continuing to serve our customers. Since we already hold FSSC 22000 certification for our IBC production, extending this certification to our steel drum line was a natural next step. This development is driven by customer feedback and the market trends we observe. Standing still is not an option. We must continue to move forward and enhance our capabilities to serve our customers. This is a solid step toward our vision of providing legendary customer service.”
At Greif Falkenberg, achieving certification is not the endpoint, it is part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening quality, compliance, and service for the customers who rely on us.
