The specialist team at Quality Associates is led by our director Dr Andreas Klieber. With experience both here in Australia and around the world, Andreas has vast experience in FMCG, food production, horticulture, food technology, supply chain management and foodservice.
Our team ranges from food technologists, microbiologists, and consumer scientists, accredited auditors, quality inspectors, specification and labelling experts, customer enquiry administrators, quality professionals and trainers.
They are highly skilled in their specific roles. We foster a culture of constant improvement and provide ongoing training to ensure they are abreast of new and emerging technologies. Importantly we select staff who adopt a ‘can-do attitude and who have the ability to build a strong working relationship with our clients.
‘ I am passionate about delivering better quality and sustainable products to consumers and helping manufacturers protect and build their competitive advantage. ‘
Andreas’ journey began with a BSc (Hons 1) and PhD in Food Science and Technology. His initial career was spent with Agriculture Canada/University of British Columbia, and Universities of Queensland and Adelaide in food science and horticulture.
He gained significant experience in retail technical and quality management by working in the UK for 3 years with innovation-leading retailer Marks & Spencer and then for 7 years with a leading Australian supermarket. He recently served as a non-executive director for the AIFST (Australian Institution of Food Science and Technology) for a three year period. Andreas’ strong technical foundation and commercial experience have led to the well-rounded service offering from Quality Associates.
Quality Associates is a well-established business with significant Tier 1 retail and manufacturing clients. The Quality Associates team have over 50 years combined experience here in Australia and around the world. We have vast experience in FMCG, food production, horticulture, food technology, supply chain management and foodservice.
In addition, we foster a culture of constant development of our own resources and the services we provide. We continually monitor the ever-changing food codes and research new and emerging technologies and developments from around the world to ensure the advice we provide our clients is accurate and up to date.
We have worked for leading supermarkets and food manufacturers both here in Australia and around the world. We are proud of the positive outcomes that we have delivered for those clients, and we would welcome the opportunity to provide a similar outcome to your business.
