Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Grootegast has been awarded the Kartoflex Safety Award for 2016.

The awards recognise those companies that have demonstrated outstanding performance in health and safety. Kartoflex is the employers’ association of Dutch manufacturers of flexible packaging and cardboard boxes.

CFP Grootegast was commended for the advances that is has made with its ATEX (explosion safety) initiative. The jury stated that: “Clondalkin Flexible Packaging Grootegast has made changes and improvements to its internal systems in a very short time and at remarkable speed. That is a very powerful performance and a good foundation for further improvements.”

For Clondalkin and all its employees it is an important recognition. Safety and well being or our employees has our highest priority.

A safe environment is not something which can be implemented top-down with new rules and investments in equipment alone. It requires raised awareness and cultural change throughout the organisation. Our strategy has led to a safer company and a reduction in accidents.
