Berlin Berlin Packaging, LLC, North America's premier stocking supplier of glass, plastic and metal containers and closures announces it has attained ISO 9001:2000 certification from Perry Johnson Registrar, Inc. Berlin Packaging is the first national rigid packaging supplier in its market niche to achieve the ISO 9001:2000 standard, an internationally recognized reference for ensuring the highest possible quality in business to business dealings.

"This certification, which typically takes at least one year to achieve, was attained by Berlin Packaging in less than 12 weeks, a testament to the company's already robust and stringent controls and procedures as it relates to quality and general business practices, stated Andrew Berlin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Berlin Packaging, LLC." Berlin Packaging continues to achieve and exceed quality objectives, including 35 consecutive months of 99%+ warehouse on-time shipments, reduction of annual customer returns, and quantifiably demonstrating to its customers how Berlin Packaging improves their bottom line.

Berlin Packaging's robust systems and practices garnered them various awards, including CIO Magazine's "Top 100 Innovators" award. This achievement further distinguishes Berlin Packaging as a hybrid packaging supplier by demonstrating its commitment to operational excellence, its management philosophy, its "Anything Is Possible™" business culture, and a customer focus that grows sales, reduces costs, and increases productivity. The commitment is so strong, it has become part of Berlin Packaging's Quality policy:

"At Berlin Packaging, we strive to have a positive impact on the income of our customers. This is done through providing packaging and service solutions that increase the customer's revenue, decrease their costs and/or improve their productivity. Along with having a positive impact on their income, we are committed to providing accurate and timely information and product to our customers while continuously looking for ways to improve our processes." -- Andrew T. Berlin, President and Chief Executive Officer

"Of the 400+ audits that I have done, none of the companies mentioned enhancing customer income as part of their quality policy. Berlin, you are the first...," says Maria Williams-Bell, Auditor for Perry Johnson, a leading registrar for international quality standards.

As we say at Berlin Packaging, "we are often pleased, but never satisified". This ISO certification further exemplifies our commitment to offering world-class products and services and will continue to make us a better company," comments Andrew Berlin.
