Group quality · traceability

Every batch logged against the job that used it.

If your customer asks which material went into a part made months ago, we can answer. Batch numbers, cure records and the person who ran the job sit in one file.

The detail

Material traceability, at group level.

Traceability is only useful if it's complete. We log material batch, cure conditions and release date against the job number as the work happens, not afterwards from memory. The same method runs across all four divisions.

For customers who pass our paperwork straight into their own quality file, that means one format whichever division made the part.

Back to One quality system. Four divisions. Same paperwork, same…

What's involved

Six parts of the work.

Batch records

Manufacturer batch and expiry for each material, logged at the point of use.

Mix and cure log

Mix ratio checks, cure method and post-cure where it applies.

Operator and date

Who ran the job and when, so questions can go to the person who knows.

Tool history

For repeat tools, the cycle history and any maintenance, logged against the tool record.

Retrieval on request

Pull a record by job, part number or date without waiting on an archive search.

Same format, all divisions

Culinary, Construction, Mouldings, Products — one traceability layout.

How it runs

Four steps, in order.

  1. 01

    Job opens

    Job number issued and linked to your part number.

  2. 02

    Materials drawn

    Each batch recorded as it's used.

  3. 03

    Released

    Traceability summary included in the release pack.

  4. 04

    Archived

    Retained and retrievable for as long as your sector requires.

Is it right for you?

An honest fit check.

A good fit when

  • You supply into regulated or audited sectors
  • Your customer asks for batch-level records
  • You're consolidating several suppliers and want one format
  • You've had a field question and couldn't trace the material

Probably not the answer when

  • You need serialised marking on every individual part — ask us, it's scoped separately
  • You need records in a regulated system we don't operate — we'll tell you honestly
  • One-off decorative moulds where nobody will ever ask
