    ‘’What are the steps in a product development process?’’

    A complete product development process consists of 5 phases. Phase 1 is the gathering of information: we receive the customer’s wishes and we concretise them together with the client. Your specifications are then assessed and your order is scheduled. Phase 2 comprises the development of the product. After the product has been developed, you will receive samples and we expect you to evaluate those. Phase 3 consists of the drawing up of an offer and the processing of your order. In that phase, all logistical and product information is also recorded. In phase 4, the ingredients are purchased and, if necessary, research is conducted into quality-related issues. In phase 5, the production of the articles takes place.

    ‘’What is the average lead time from product request to delivery?’’

    ‘’What do you do in terms of food safety?’’

    Compaxo is certified according to the food standard IFS, and we continue to regard that as the quality standard to be maintained. The fact that we check the quality of our products and ingredients partly in our own laboratory makes us very flexible: we can immediately react to unsatisfactory results. Besides, we try to think along with our customers: in order to make our products healthier we reduce salt, E numbers and allergens.

    ‘’What do you do in terms of hygiene?’’

    Investing in the improvement of our hygiene policy is very important to us. The fact that we extensively check the quality of our products and ingredients in our own organoleptic and microbiological laboratory also gives us great flexibility. 

    ‘’What do you do in terms of animal welfare?’’

    Because our fresh meat division in Zevenaar is a supplier of our meat products factory in Gouda, we have a good supervision of animal welfare. Thanks to various measures, such as the cooperation with certified cattle transporters, we are able to keep our working method as animal-friendly as possible. Developments in the field of pre-slaughter anaesthesia are closely monitored and compared to the current anaesthetic method to see whether it can be done in an even more animal-friendly way. As a company, we carry out many checks on animal welfare and we continue to make improvements wherever possible.
