Today is the World Food Safety Day! 🍔 We spoke to Kalle Luomi, Senior Manager of Product Stewardship at UPM Specialty Papers, to get learn about his story throughout 35 years at UPM. #meettheteam #behindthescenes #passionatebynature 💡 How long have you been working with UPM and what keeps you motivated? I have been working for UPM since 1990. Before that, I also worked for UPM as a summer trainee during my university studies. My career at UPM has now lasted a little over 35 years, with several rotations at different mills; the experiences and new people keep me motivated. Working with customers and being successful with them is very rewarding. 💡 What is the role our products play in ensuring food safety? Every operator involved in long food chains must ensure, one step upstream and one step downstream, that the chemical substances and raw materials used, and the products manufactured and sent to the customers, are safe to use, meet the food safety requirements and comply with food safety regulations. Our papers can be in direct (such as packaging or barrier/barrier base grades) or in indirect (such as label face or liners) contact with food and are essential to ensure the safety of the consumer. 💡 Could you share an example of a project you’re especially proud of? In recent years, UPM Specialty Papers has introduced a number of new tools to manage product safety. I’m also proud to say that the awareness of the importance of the product safety issues is at a very high level in the mills today. To demonstrate compliance with food safety regulations, we provide our customers with our own Declaration of Compliance document, which shows all the regulatory compliance and the absence of certain hazardous or harmful chemicals. Suppliers are required to demonstrate product compliance through their own documentation by answering a harmonized questionnaire. 💡 What do you enjoy doing in your free time? My free time activities vary according to the season. E.g. in winter I like to do cross-country skiing. Since this spring I have started the new hobby, cycling with electric bike. I spend lot of time at my summer cottage, doing construction work. The most recent project was a new sauna building!
