We have been pioneers in the research, development, manufacturing and proper certification of coatings for direct and indirect contact with food and beverages for the food industry in general, and now also for food packaging. We innovate in official and private R&D projects, developing primers, barrier coatings and overprint varnishes for food contact use and adjustable to each case. We collaborate with the R&D&I centers of leading suppliers, leading Technological Centers, specialized consultants, converters and other members of the food packaging value chain, to innovate, always seeking a balance between the essential food safety and security, functionality and possible improvements in sustainability. We work with confidentiality with our partners and customers, both with our own brand and with private labels, also as toller or maquilla, transparency with inspection, traceability, good manufacturing practices and unique with HACCP. We invest in official tests of global and specific migrations, organoleptic, extractions, carbon footprint reduction, etc. . We detail everything in the mandatory Declaration of Conformity of each coating for food contact. Our plant, permits, processes and products are regularly inspected by the health authorities; General Sanitary Register of Food and Food Companies ES-39.005259/T and ROESP E-0043-E. Can we help you?

One of FAKOLITH's major specialties are coatings, varnishes, and paints suitable for direct, indirect, or occasional contact with food, beverages, and drinking water. As an SME intensive in Research and after 10 years of continuous official research projects in the field of coatings for food contact and antimicrobial activity, we can affirm that this is an extremely complex and exciting specialty, and in any case of great importance for the health of consumers.
Given its complexity and relevance, for the food industry, as for the food packaging manufacturer, for the consumer, even for internal and external control, we will try to explain its operation in the simplest possible way, from our specialty in coatings, and through the main document 'The Declaration of Conformity or Compliance Declaration'.
