In order to permanently improve the quality of its products, ABCO has developed a high-performance quality policy which lead to the ISO 9001-2000 certification (January 2004) and the HACCP certification granted by BVQI.
This double certification is the recognition of ABCO’s quality system efficiency and maturity. It also shows its will to adopt a progress approach and to better meet the clients’ expectations and requirements.

Production processes are carried out in conformity with the European hygiene standards which made it possible to obtain the sanitary accreditation CE 321 in July 2003 and hence the expansion of ABCO’s exports to the European community.

ABCO holds all assets likely to give excellent products:
The location : the production unit is at the sea side and close to fishing harbours (Kélibia, Sidi Daoud) to be easily provided with extra fresh sardines and tuna fishes.

The staff : Our workers are aware that the clients’ satisfaction is extremely important, they are skilled in the field of canned foods and transmit their experience from one generation to another. The workers are appointed on the basis of their initial education, their experience and know-how. They are regularly trained in the field of hygiene.

A dynamic quality-security system: the quality-security system is in line with a continuous improvement approach based on the PDCA concept (Plan, Do, Check, Act).
A self-control laboratory: all tests are carried out in a laboratory which is adequately equipped to control :
- The freshness of raw materials ( sardine and tuna fishes)
- The acidity of oil
- The oil’s and finished product’s pH
- The salinity
- The stability of the finished product
