Leading paper supplier Antalis has achieved the highest possible audit grade of AA+ in its most recent BRCGS Storage and Distribution audit, completed in December 2025. This outstanding result reflects the company’s unwavering commitment to excellence, quality and safety across its storage and distribution operations.

The BRCGS Storage and Distribution Standard is a globally recognised certification programme that sets the benchmark for best practice in logistics operations for handling packaging and consumer products. It assures customers that robust controls are in place to protect product safety, quality, integrity and traceability throughout the supply chain.

Achieving an AA+ grade is a significant accomplishment. The audit was conducted as an unannounced inspection, requiring Antalis to always remain fully audit ready. This demands rigorous attention to detail, disciplined processes, strong operational controls and a continuous focus on improvement across every stage of storage, handling and distribution.

For Antalis customers, the result provides added confidence that paper and packaging materials are stored, handled and delivered with the highest levels of care. This is particularly important for brand owners and converters operating in high care sectors such as food secondary packaging, premium spirits, personal care and cosmetics, where packaging performance, integrity and supplier due diligence are critical.

Antalis has been certified to the BRCGS Storage and Distribution Standard since 2012, demonstrating long standing commitment to the scheme. This consistency is supported by ongoing senior management oversight and structured review of audit performance within the company’s management systems.

Commenting on the achievement, Matthew Botfield, corporate risk and compliance manager at Antalis, said: ‘Achieving the highest AA+ grade in an unannounced BRCGS audit is a fantastic endorsement of our teams and the standards they uphold every day. This latest certification milestone further strengthens Antalis’ position as a trusted partner and reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering the highest standards of service and quality across the supply chain.’
