Our strategy is focused on quality!
Quality confirmed by independent assessment
Trapeza brand was created with such values in mind as the quality, natural products, environmental friendliness, and availability to a wide range of customers.
Many food manufacturers claim the quality of their products but few can confirm it with independent assessments. We can! Since 2007, our production has been certified according tointernational standards: ISO 9001 for Quality Management System and ISO 22000 for Food Safety , which develop the principles of the HACCP system. We were one of the first in Russia to receive the ISO 22000 certification, and the first to undergo recertification three years later and extend the validity of the certificate for three years more. In 2016, the factory reached a fundamentally new level — it successfull renewed its FSSC 22000 Food Safety System Certification.
Quality is guaranteed by state-of-the-art infrastructure, cleanliness and control.
As the famous saying goes, cleanliness is next to godliness. A state-of-the-art infrastructure was created in the factory that ensures the world-class level of its production environment both in terms of sanitation and safety of food production, and in terms of ecology, ergonomics, and comfort. The factory is located in an ecologically clean suburban area of Novosibirsk. Energy efficient technologies and advanced machinery have made it possible tosignificantly reduce operating costs and optimize the cost of production which certainly had an impact on the price of the final product. GMP and HACCP requirements, generally accepted standards for food production, laid the foundation and served as the guidelines for the creation of the factory and were successfully implemented.
We pay particular attention to selection and storage of raw materials including careful selection of suppliers, strict incoming inspection, quarantine zones, and a dedicated storage. Our warehouse complex complies with the necessary storage requirements for both raw materials and finished products such as constant temperature and humidity, no pests and no cross-contamination. Eco-friendly handling machinery streamlines all warehouseoperations and helpsto handle the feedstock with care. Spices and seasonings retain their full flavor.
Laboratory control ensures high-quality raw materials in and finished products that meet all the standards out.
Our own technology laboratory tests new products quickly which speeds up the process of
developing new lines of products. Recipes of our seasoning blends have been developed by leading Russian food technologists and passed long-term tests. Tastings with different groups of consumers make it pos sible to take into account different tastes and preferences. And the preliminary search for competitive advantages leads to the creation of unique products. Launching new product lines helps to keep customers engaged. This is how we create products that meet the needs of customers to the maximum extent.
The products are packed into foiled bags with enhanced barrier properties. Such packages are airtight, do not allow moisture and essential oils to pass through (and thus prevent rancidity of the contents, oi
ling of the packages and thinning of aromas), and do not fade. Our constant search for the best designs helps us to offer colorful, clear packaging. The balance of the cost of materials, their barrier properties, and color printing allows us to compete with foreign brands on store shelves.
Raw materials go through additional decontamination and get sieved, calibrated and packaged. The use of high-tech Italian machinery allows us to minimize manufacturing costs and the risk of product contamination while maintaining the quality of the ingredients. And the reliability of the machinery ensures a high filling speed and uninterrupted operation of the lines.
Each package contains recommendations on the use and a recipe. Consumers may call the phone number indicated on the package or send a letter to the quality department that collects and analyzes suggestions and comments from consumers. Traceability helps to ensure that every claim is investigated promptly.
