“My name is Hua Xu (Albert), 40+ years old from Suzhou of China. I am the General Manager of Suzhou Fansheng Plastic Manufacture Ltd, Suzhou Innopack and the Director of Innopack Global NZ Ltd. I studied at Waikato University from 2001-2005 majoring in Economics and Strategic Management, the study for me was not only about learning the theoretical material but more importantly it broadened my mind to have a better understanding of western culture and the Kiwi life. I took over the family business — Suzhou Fansheng Plastic Manufacture Ltd when I returned to China and since then 10 years of running the factory has given me a great understanding of our products and processes from mould development and testing to printing and Labelling and much more.
It was then in sales I got to understand the different requirements for the same product for different countries, such as in the States they need heavy duty HDPE pails, European’s want thin wall PP pails and AUST & NZ its paramount the product is functional for the end user for example easy tear bands on our pail lids.
I founded Innopack Suzhou in 2013 as many customers asked me to source certain products for them in China so with this concept in mind we developed a professional procurement, customer services and business development team enabling us to provide a complete service for all our customers’ needs. Given Innopack Suzhou’s success in China I then founded Innopack Global Ltd (NZ) in the AUGUST of 2014 aiming to provide Intelligent Procurement Strategies to companies in NZ & AUST helping them overcome obstacles and perceptions when importing products direct from China”

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP, for short) is defined by the US Food and Drug Administration as a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of biological, chemical and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product.
A HACCP plan is a written document that clearly states how you and your business should handle food correctly, monitor procedures and keep records to keep consumers safe.
Our 7 HACCP principles
- Identify hazards. Hazards are anything chemical, biological, or physical that poses as an unacceptable health risk.
- Identify Critical Control Points (CCPs). CCPs are stages in the production process where contamination hazards can be controlled, prevented or reduced to acceptable levels.
- Establish Critical Control Point Limits. CCPs are measurable boundaries within the production process that is considered within a safe zone.
- Monitor the CCPs. Both manager and employees involved in the foodservice process must monitor the CCPs to ensure that standards meet the minimum requirement. They have to make sure that the standards are kept and to make necessary adjustments to keep temperatures and other CCPs within the boundaries of the critical limits.
- Establish Corrective Actions. When the food isn’t within the critical limits, you’ll need to do something about it. Corrective actions are made in this step.
- Establish Verification Procedures. A HACCP plan will have to withstand independent audits or some other verification procedure endorsed by an agency such as the FDA, USDA or US Department of Commerce. Internal review will be the most frequent verification, such as, a manager reviewing temperature records or calibrating equipment.
- Establish Record-Keeping Procedures. Finally, the best HACCP plans in the world don’t mean a thing if employees don’t know about them or how to implement them. That’s why this principle is very important. All employees must be required to review the HACCP plan and should be tested to make sure they understand
