Good manufacturing practices

Simply the best for our customers

GMP – at Cognis these three letters stand for a promising departure into a new territory. As one of the first companies in the industry, Cognis is developing ‘Good Manufacturing Practice‘ for its products in the fields of cosmetics, dietary supplements and pharmaceuticals. With these standards, Cognis will be able to accommodate its customers’ requirements more effectively as they impose ever-higher demands on the quality of chemical basestocks. With GMP Cognis customers get an enormous advantage that they can then convert directly in the marketplace where end users’ awareness of the ingredients used has been continuously rised.

The quality requirements of Cognis’ most important international customers have – together with a corresponding directive issued by the EU commission – provided the main points of departure for the development of the guidelines contained in the Cognis Cosmetics GMP – as for the modular adaptions of this GMP for food additives and the pharmaceutical line.

With its GMP standards, Cognis goes well beyond the usual quality requirements placed on chemical products. The GMP scheme embodies the concept of realizing/securing maximum consumer protection right from the beginning of the value chain. Thereby the Group is resolutely pursuing its philosophy of ensuring responsible corporate care.
