We employ quality assurance procedures at key production stages, including raw material quality control, production process quality control and production quality control.

Employee and workplace safety is an important aspect of our business. We have in place safety policies, rules and regulations, as well as emergency response and precautionary measures to reduce the risk of chemical-related and production-related accidents.

We also have a safety and security team, and a team of safety enforcement officers who conduct regular work site inspections. Our employees undergo comprehensive training in safety and environmental related matters, while our emergency response team conducts regular safety drills.
