UPM Raflatac achieves ISO certification in Illinois facility

UPM Raflatac has received ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System certification for its labelstock factory in Dixon, Illinois, USA. This certification is said to represent ‘a significant step’ toward achieving one of the company's major goals for its labelstock and RFID facilities worldwide: developing Environmental Management Systems (EMS) that operate in accordance with an internationally recognized standard. The Illinois factory joins the ranks of other UPM Raflatac facilities in the United States, Europe and China in having a fully developed EMS.
