Spectra Logistics, an end-to-end logistic solutions provider has added another feather to its cap recently, obtaining three ISO certifications for its Integrated Management System within a short time period of six months.

Spectra is equipped with over four years of experience and is a joint investment between McLarens Group and GAC Sri Lanka.

Constant maintenance of the sophisticated systems and processes led by its dedicated expert team led to this immense achievement in the Sri Lankan logistics industry. The three ISO certifications obtained are ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System, ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System and the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System.

The ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System covers the Spectra Logistics Distribution Centre while both the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety Management System cover its four-business verticals – the Distribution Centre, Spectra Integrated Logistics Ltd. – Inland Container Terminal, Transport and Projects Division, and the Custom Brokerage.

Commenting on this significant milestone of the company, Spectra Logistics Managing Director Dr. Ravi Edirisinghe said: “The certifications underpin our team’s dedication towards continuous development and improvement of our processes and work practices to maintain the highest quality standards. They further validate the superior quality of service we offer to our clients. Quality, health and safety are ingrained in the DNA of the company and our teams constantly work towards achieving the quality standards that our stakeholders demand.”

Health and safety of its employees are also of utmost importance. By achieving ISO 45001:2018 certification, Spectra Logistics has demonstrated its commitment towards creating a safe and healthy working environment across all its business verticals.

With the implementation of the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, Spectra Logistics’ document management system and procedures have been further streamlined, giving the company more control over documentation while improving the management of processes and practices. At the same time, the company continues to enhance the quality of its logistics services and systems, as well as to strengthen and improve the controls across all its business verticals, resulting in further improvement in customer satisfaction.

With the ISO 22000:2018 food safety management system, Spectra Logistics Distribution Centre which caters to many local and international food manufacturers will be able to guarantee the safety and care in the handling of food products in its facility. Together with the knowledge, skills and capabilities of its warehouse team, customers can be assured on the food safety and quality of products handled.

The level of quality, systems, processes, procedures and levels of health and safety aspects have considerably improved with these ISO implementations. At the same time, Spectra Logistics have been able to reduce the downtime, and the number of incidents recorded at the workplace.
