What does it mean?

All certificates
explained

BRC FOOD CERTFICATED

Our certification to global standards of the British Retail Consortium (BRC) for food safety is proof of our expertise in HACCP, hygiene, food safety, quality systems and consumer protection regulations.

FAIR TRADE

Fair trade stands for fair partnership on an equal footing and identifies goods whose production processes have met certain social, ecological and economic criteria. It is about equitable trading, ensuring that buyers and producers work together fairly, and that producers receive a fair price for their products.

RAINFOREST ALLIANCE

This seal stands for a better future for human beings and the environment. The Rainforest Alliance campaigns for better living conditions for farm owners and workers. Certified producers actively contribute to protecting the environment by using natural resources sparingly, using less artificial fertiliser, avoiding waste and protecting forest areas.

BIO EU

If a product displays this seal, this means it complies with the EU regulations on organic farming. Processed foods must contain at least 95% organic ingredients, no artificial flavours or colours, and must grown without the use of synthetic plant protection products.

IFS FOOD

The IFS Food Standard is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative for auditing food manufacturers. The main focus is on food safety and process and product quality. It is used wherever products are processed or where there is a risk of contamination of the product during initial packaging.

RSPO CERTIFICATED

As a central organisation, the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil seeks to promote sustainable cultivation methods for palm oil and thus limit deforestation and environmental degradation. The members of the roundtable are mainly companies and institutions from the palm oil value chain, including plantation operators, traders and industrial buyers of palm oil, as well as environmental protection associations.

SMETA

Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit is the most widely used social audit system worldwide. It enables companies to assess their suppliers, monitor workers’ health and safety, and demonstrate zero tolerance for human rights abuses such as child labour or forced labour.

How our cooperation
works

From idea to
shelf in just
five steps

Do you have an innovative idea or a finished formula
and are you looking for the right production partner?

INQUIRE NOW

Preparing
your enquiry

You tell us what kind of project you have in mind, how you want to distribute your product and what volumes you are planning. We will organise an initial meeting to discuss your idea.

Team
kick-off

Our product management and development team will discuss your formula and packaging solution with you, elaborate it and suggest ways to optimise your quality and pricing policy.

Sampling & tasting

We will produce samples of your product and send them to you for taste testing. Are you happy with the results or do they need adjusting?

In-house trial

We will trial your formula at our plant and check it for technological feasibility. In the meantime, we will be working together on the design of the product packaging.

Initial production

The design is finalised, the packaging is printed and production is officially underway. Time to put a few bottles of champagne in the fridge. 😊

See our FAQs for more information

Depending on the complexity, your project can be realised from roughly 1,500kg product per production run. However, each enquiry must be assessed individually and a scale-up agreed upon. We will be happy to discuss our capabilities in a joint meeting.

You don’t have to worry. We will factor your project into our capacity planning in detail, including the prospect of higher production volumes in the long term. We guarantee that we will not hold back your growth.

We are committed to respecting workers’ rights and treating workers fairly and ethically. Likewise, we are constantly seeking to reduce our environmental footprint. We focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, avoiding waste, reducing waste and water consumption, and on managing water and waste comprehensively. We operate a hydroelectric power plant at our production site and have been sourcing 100% green electricity since 2017.

Gutschermühle is your ideal partner from your initial idea to developing your product, all the way to the finished product on the shelf. We are a team of specialists with years of experience who are also able to create out-of-the-box concepts. Every customer receives tailor-made solutions. We treat every project individually and as a high priority.

We are equipped with HGV ramps for loading articulated lorries, as well as various forklift trucks for smaller lorries. We check every truck before loading and ensure that the goods are placed inside carefully so that they survive the transport undamaged. We recommend using refrigerated transport options for products containing chocolate to preserve quality. We will be happy to help you find a solution for your product.

We always keep track of all three aspects of the project triad (time, scope and costs) for you. We combine the shortest possible development time with the necessary expenditure to develop a product solution that is both safe and of high quality. This results in an average project duration of five to ten months.
