Introducing a New Partnership:
CRC Industries & Bunzl Processor Division
Bunzl Processor Division (BPD), a trusted name in food processing and packaging supplies for over 140 years, is proud to announce a new partnership with CRC Industries, a global leader in specialty chemicals with more than 65 years of experience. This collaboration brings CRC's food-grade line of greases and lubricants to BPD's extensive product offering, reinforcing both companies' commitment to food safety and operational excellence.
Expanding Access to Food-Safe Solutions
CRC was first to market with a comprehensive Food Safety Program and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach — setting the standard since 2003. CRC's food-grade line of products are specifically designed for use in and around food processing equipment and environments. These NSF H1-registered greases and lubricants help food processors and packaging manufacturers maintain compliance while minimizing the risk of biological, chemical, and physical contamination, therefore improving audit outcomes.
Built-In Safety by Design
Understanding the importance of continuous improvement in food safety, CRC has implemented the revolutionary Perma-Lock® 2-Way Integrated Actuator into many of its food-grade products. This innovative design prevents the actuator from detaching from the can, significantly reducing the risk of foreign object contamination and helping to avoid costly product recalls.
The StopLight® Food Safety Program
As part of CRC's commitment to the food industry, the StopLight® Food Safety Program is a visual identification labeling system that ensures maintenance employees use and store MRO chemicals in the proper locations. This program helps minimize the risk of contamination across all food processing and non-production areas, supporting food safety audits and regulatory compliance.
What This Partnership Means for Food Processors
- Broader Access: BPD's distribution network makes CRC's food-grade products more accessible to processors and packagers nationwide. Customers can now easily add these lubricants and greases to their ongoing orders, streamlining procurement and ensuring consistent supply.
- Enhanced Safety: Innovations like the Perma-Lock® actuator and StopLight® labeling system reduce contamination risks.
- Operational Efficiency: High-performance lubricants and greases help keep equipment running smoothly and reliably — ensuring production lines stay efficient and meet output demands without interruption.
Together, CRC and BPD are raising the bar for food safety and operational excellence.
