In addition to the above, I also have expertise in the aseptic packaging development technology and have many visits to such production lines and am familiar with the purpose and operation principles for each step of the process chain. Through extensive communications with various customers, I've obtained a firm understanding of common issues related to the food industry dealing with packaging in direct contact with food and have the know-how to solve these issues directly at the production line based on ISO22000 and HACCP procedures.
