About the Organisation

Olypac Asia Sdn Bhd is a manufacturer of hot-fill and retortable plastic bottles used in the food packaging industry. As packaging plays a critical role in protecting food safety, maintaining strict hygiene standards and consistent product quality is essential to safeguarding consumer health and protecting brand reputation.

With increasing expectations from multinational food manufacturers and global supply chains, the company recognized the need to strengthen its food safety management system and align with internationally recognized standards. To enhance operational credibility and support future market expansion, Olypac Asia embarked on the journey to obtain FSSC 22000 certification.

Challenges Faced by the Olypac Asia Sdn Bhd

Limited Market Access Without International Certification
Although Olypac Asia operated with a well-established production facility and strong operational capabilities, the company lacked an internationally recognized food safety management system. Without certification, it was difficult to demonstrate compliance with the strict requirements of multinational food manufacturers and global supply chains.

Missed Growth opportunities
Major food brands increasingly require suppliers to operate under certified food safety systems. The absence of certification limited the company’s ability to secure larger contracts and slowed expansion into higher-value markets, despite having capable production infrastructure.

Connext Consulting’s Approach

To support Olypac Asia’s strategic growth goals, Connext Consulting worked closely with the management and operational teams to implement FSSC 22000 v6 through a structured and practical approach.

The project focused on:

  • Conducting a comprehensive gap assessment against FSSC 22000 requirements
  • Designing a practical food safety management system aligned with daily operations
  • Strengthening process monitoring and documentation controls
  • Enhancing team awareness and implementation capability through targeted training
  • Preparing the organization for a smooth certification audit

Rather than focusing solely on documentation, the implementation emphasized building a system that was practical, sustainable, and embedded within daily production practices.

Implementation Highlights

The FSSC 22000 framework was integrated into key operational areas, including:

  • Food safety management system structure and governance
  • Hazard identification and risk-based controls
  • Production monitoring and operational discipline
  • Internal auditing and continuous improvement processes
  • Employee awareness and food safety culture development

This structured implementation helped ensure that food safety management became part of the organization’s operational mindset, not just a certification requirement.
