1. The introduction of our White Paper

At the beginning of the year, Aburnet funded research into why hair is still currently the number one contaminate in food. Through the White Paper, we have been able to help our customers with a selection of the most appropriate head coverings, and assist organisations in adopting the best practices they could.

For all their assistance in the production of the White Paper, we would like to take this opportunity again to thank:

- Professor Barry Stevens FTTS, President of the Trichological Society
- The University of Bolton
- Food industry experts 

2. ABurnet’s articles published in the International Food Hygiene Magazine

We are proud of the science behind our products and the research that has gone in to them. This has resulted in articles written by ABurnet being published by the leading International Food Hygiene magazine, assisting many to control hair contamination in their workplace. Articles include: 

- Zero complaints, the ultimate goal for hair contamination is attainable in food processing
- New research into contamination with The White Paper on targeting zero hair complaints
- New HACCP approved hair containment products solve hair complaints   

3. The KleenCap Max helping sites achieve a gold grade award

In terms of achievements of 2015, this is one that we are most delighted by. Through introducing the KleenCap-Max with HairGon, ABurnet was able to assist a food processing site in securing the highly acclaimed gold award. We were also advised that this site achieved zero hair complaints - helping our customers to achieve such targets all adds to why it is we’re so proud of what we do.  

4. Presenting at the Camden BRI manufacturing technologies interest group

Upon invitation in May we saw our Managing Director, Richard Burnet, present our Target Zero Hair Complaints White Paper. The presentation demonstrated how leading food processors are eliminating or drastically reducing hair complaints over a sustained period of time. This particular highlight offered the opportunity to share our developments to leading food industry professionals.

5. Becoming the only company to supply HACCP international approved hair containment products
