Our Commitment to Quality:
Kemin invests a great deal in maintaining top-of-the-line manufacturing facilities and conducts rigorous quality assurance testing of incoming and outgoing material. In 2010, we chose to further formalize our commitment to quality by pursuuing Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarked certifications. These are quality certifications that GFSI has identified as meeting food safety standards worldwide.

This level of certification is not required of Kemin, but does provide documented reinforcement of our commitment to providing only the highest quality products. In January 2012, our production facility in Belgium passed an audit and received Food Safety System Certification 22000 (FSSC 22000), a GFSI recognized certification, for all food ingredients manufactured in the facility. Other facilities are currently ISO 9001:2008 certified, and expect to receive GFSI recognized certifications in the near future.  View the Belgian food-grade facility certificate
 

Our Commitment to Service:
Kemin is committed to providing customers with innovative solutions – both in our products and our service. All our employees are given the freedom, tools, time and resources to develop unique solutions for our customers. We believe in continuous improvement and continuous change to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers and we will work until those needs are met.

Kemin Customer Laboratory Services (CLS) teams are dedicated to providing customers with laboratory services tailored to meet each customer's unique needs. Using their technical expertise and problem-solving skills, our CLS staff can discover the source of problem and develop a solution, establish correct application rates, and identify the most effective points of application. Our CLS teams work with customers to troubleshoot problems and ensure they receive the maximum value from Kemin products.

Peter Weaver, CEO of Ridley AgriProducts, spoke with The CEO Magazine about Kemin:

As with any business, it's always about making partnerships work by going the extra mile. "We've got a good relationship with Kemin, for example,” mentions Peter. "While they have good products, they have actually been able to add value to our business in ways other than just product transactions. The backup service they have been able to provide in the last 12 months has been exceptionally good. This service is a result of the supplier-customer partnership we have, adding value to each other's businesses."

Our Commitment to Technical Expertise:
Not only does Kemin commit to excellence in our research group, but in all of our internal business areas. Our technical service representatives bridge the gap from our labs to those of our customers. Kemin experts use applied knowledge and real-life industry experience to ensure what is discovered in our lab is applied in customers' operations in a manner that will yield the highest possible return on investment.

Our Commitment to Research:
Kemin is committed to understanding how our products work at the molecular level and using superior chemistry to uncover the best ways to deliver nutrition and health solutions with maximum efficacy. We continue to invest heavily in research and development to ensure we remain on the leading edge of molecular technology, providing only highly effective products and services to our customers.

With more than 150,000 square feet of research facilities around the world, Kemin has developed several core competencies from which our products are created: synergistic combinations of ingredients, neutralization of acids, extraction of botanicals, crystallization of lutein, fermentation, and encapsulation.
