Governance and Responsibility

Product Responsibility

KAP prides itself on the number of achievements due to world-class production and product quality which is a non-negotiable cornerstone of all of our businesses.

  • Feltex Fehrer Quality Circle Team was represented at the Toyota South Africa 11th All Company QC Circles Presentations. The team was commended by the panel of judges made up of senior managers from Toyota for the quality and content of their presentation.
  • At Mossop, the 20 Keys Organisational Development Programme has been applied for many years, and the daily measurement of key performance areas and consultation with employees in mini business areas has led to continued improvements in areas such as productivity, quality and on-time delivery.
  • Hosaf Fibres’ Cape Town and Durban plants comply with ISO 9001:2000 quality standards.
  • Bull Brand Foods’ Krugersdorp operation has again achieved its Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) and British Retail Consortium (BRC) certifications. These stringent process and food safety certifications reinforce the company’s ongoing commitment to the highest standards of quality and hygiene to its consumers.
  • The Jordan & Co factory also complies with ISO 9001:2000 and has also been awarded the SABS mark for certain of its uniform-orientated footwear.
  • The Industrial Footwear division has achieved the standard mark of the South African Bureau of Standards and the European Standards mark in both factories for its products. The plastics division, in addition, has the European CE mark, Australian Standards mark and the Singapore and Canadian Standards marks. Both these factories are also ISO 9001:2000 compliant.
  • Glodina retains its ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) accreditation, with its culture of quality evident in the consistent high quality of its products. The Cotton Board of SA awarded Glodina the Home Textile Manufacturer of the year award in 2007 for the fifth consecutive year. It has integrated the safety, health, environmental and quality management systems into a “single system” to benefit from overlaps in the document control and record-keeping of these systems.
