AIB and SFI certifications.



Joe Piper Inc., paperboard distributor in Birmingham Alabama, announces the awarding of their ninth consecutive Superior rating audit from the American Institute of Baking (AIB). Piper has participated in the AIB certification process since 1999 and has received a Superior rating each year.

Compliance standards for this critical auditing have been heightened by AIB, nationwide, in the past year in order to provide even greater degrees of food packaging safety, housekeeping and material traceability.

Joe Piper Inc is especially proud to have received a Superior rating for 2009, under the newer, higher standards required by AIB.

Ann Piper, president of Joe Piper Inc. says “our company’s participation and achievement in the AIB certification process is a testament to the professionalism, dedication and reliability our people bring to their work.  It is tangible proof that our facilities and operating procedures offer our customers assurance that paperboard they buy from us is handled with the highest degree of safety for food contact and detailed traceability.”    

In addition to the AIB certification, Piper has recently achieved FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification.
