At KRONUS, quality isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the foundation of everything we do. From raw material selection to finished products ready for shipment, our commitment to excellence is built into every step of the production process. That’s why we maintain a comprehensive quality assurance system, backed by internationally recognized certifications and standards that ensure the reliability, safety, and sustainability of our wooden packaging solutions.

Certified to Meet Global Quality Standards

KRONUS holds a broad portfolio of industry-leading certificates that confirm our capabilities and compliance with global quality and management standards:

ISO 9001: This Quality Management System certification confirms that KRONUS consistently meets customer and regulatory requirements through well-defined processes and continual improvement.

ISO 14001: With this Environmental Management certification, we demonstrate our responsible approach to environmental performance, managing impacts across operations.

ISO 50001: This standard helps us optimize energy use and efficiency, reducing environmental impact and improving operational cost control.

ISO 28000: Covering supply chain security, this certification enhances risk management and traceability throughout our logistics and production network.

PEFC & FSC®: These forest certification schemes verify that the wood used in our products comes from responsibly managed forests, with full chain of custody traceability.

EPAL licence: As a certified manufacturer of EPAL Euro pallets, we comply with strict European standards for dimensions, strength, and interchangeability — essential for global logistics networks.

In addition to these, KRONUS holds phytosanitary treatment certificates (ISPM 15), a LRTDEA TÜV Rheinland statement of conformity that further reinforces product integrity and safety for international transport, and an EcoVadis Bronze Medal, which reflects its efforts in sustainability, transparency, and responsible business practices.

Why do certifications matter for customers?

These certifications aren’t just plaques on a wall — they represent real benefits for businesses that choose KRONUS wooden packaging solutions:

  • Consistency you can trust

Certified quality systems ensure that every pallet, collar, or box consistently meets the same high standards.

  • Global compatibility

With EPAL and ISPM 15 compliance, our products are recognized and accepted in global supply chains.

PEFC and FSC® credentials affirm that our sourcing supports responsible forest management and environmental stewardship.

  • Reliable supply chain security

ISO 28000 strengthens security practices, reducing risk and improving compliance across the logistics lifecycle.

Advanced quality control in action

Certification is just part of the story. At KRONUS, we go a step further with advanced quality control technologies right on the production floor. Our 3D scanning and laser diagnostics systems detect material and dimensional deviations at multiple stages — from raw board inspection to final pallet

checks. Each batch is monitored for parameters like moisture levels, tolerances, and structural precision, ensuring that the final product performs exactly as expected.

In a market where wooden packaging solutions must stand up to demanding logistics environments, our quality assurance and certification frameworks are more than credentials — they are a promise:

1. That KRONUS wooden packaging will perform.

2. That packaging will protect its load.

3. That a customer can rely on us — day in, day out.

This commitment to quality and international standards is one of the reasons businesses across industries trust KRONUS for safe, efficient, and sustainable wooden packaging solutions.
