Since we opened our doors, Pakko has been on a mission to be the world’s most versatile cardboard manufacturer.  Yes, the world.

It’s a big call for any company. Let alone a cardboard company in Geebung, Queensland!

When we started in 2017 with 5 employees, we had no idea where our journey would lead.

Today, we employ 24 full time packaging professionals and our CEO recently won one of Australia’s most prestigious business awards, The Telstra Best of Business Awards 2022.

As we strive to make a meaningful contribution to the Australian manufacturing industry, we know quality assurance is important for customers and suppliers, so we chose to become ISO9001 Certified. 

Going Global

Taking its name from the Greek word, “isos” which translates to equal, ISO is a group of 162 nations headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and focused on the development of standardised management system, services, manufacturing process and procedures.

The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has established many types of industry certifications to equalise manufacturing, production and procedural standards for companies around the globe.  ISO9001 Certification is just one of them, and it’s highly focused on the manufacturing industry.

What does ISO 9001 mean for Pakko?

Our business purpose is guided by our values.  We want to create a respectful, honest and multi-culturally inclusive workplace, while raising the profile of the Australian Manufacturing and packaging industry.

The Certification gives our business global credibility and allows us to participate in projects that we might not, others have qualified for and allows our team at Pakko to continue on our trajectory to make a positive impact to our people, community and the industry.

ISO9001 Certification helps us at Pakko by:

– Increasing Efficiency

With the implementation of new quality management systems and resource management, the whole process of doing business becomes more effective.

– Better Branding

Certification with a global organisation like ISO signals to global partners that we take our business and production seriously.  It definitely raises the reputation stakes and positions us as a professional business whose standards are globally approved.

– Increases Engagement and Respect

With Certification comes industry respect and increased engagement from our team.  We know that our team are proud to be part of a business who is now ISO9001 certified.
