Document background
A Toll Processing Agreement is essential when a company needs to outsource the processing of its materials to a specialized manufacturer while retaining ownership of the materials throughout the process. This document, governed by Belgian law and compliant with EU regulations, is commonly used in industries such as chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. The agreement comprehensively addresses operational aspects, quality standards, regulatory compliance, liability allocation, and commercial terms. It's particularly relevant when companies want to leverage external processing capabilities without investing in their own facilities, while maintaining control over their intellectual property and ensuring compliance with Belgian and EU manufacturing standards.
