EU Validates Vectron International GmbH Sites for Full AEO Certification in the
Worldwide Supply Chain Security Initiative
TELTOW, Germany, 2013-08-13 14:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Vectron International, a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of
Frequency Control, Sensor, and Hybrid Product solutions, today announced that
it has successfully passed the on-site validation audits conducted by the EU
Customs team at its German facilities in Teltow and Neckarbischofsheim. This
validation recognizes that the global supply chain security initiatives at
these sites are in compliance to the requirements of this program and
recognizes both sites as certified Authorised Economic Operators (AEO).
Previously, Vectron with global operations in the U.S., Asia and Europe, was
certified as a member of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism
(C-TPAT) program by the U.S. Customs&Border Protection (CBP) agency of the
Department of Homeland Security. As a validated company in both the U.S. C-TPAT
and the EU AEO Program, Vectron is committed to global supply chain security
and has agreed to make a vital contribution to help ensure the continued free
flow of international trade.
The AEO program recognizes that Vectron's German facilities have procedures and
policies in place to comply with the comprehensive EU Customs requirements and
the necessary discipline for security of EU and global logistics supply chain.
The on-site audit for the AEO program was completed at Vectron's Teltow and
Neckarbischofsheim facilities in July 2013.
Established in 2001, C-TPAT is the first worldwide initiative in which
participating organizations fully cooperate with U.S. Customs to establish
acceptable security practices throughout their entire supply chain operations.
Eligible companies must submit a detailed application and conduct a
comprehensive self-assessment of their supply chain security procedures using
the C-TPAT guidelines developed by the CBP and the community for each specific
trade category. Subsequently, an on-site validation audit is conducted by the
C-TPAT team to verify that all the required security initiatives are in place
and have been implemented effectively. Vectron completed their initial C-TPAT
certification in 2009 and re-validated the certification in 2012.
'Obtaining both the EU AEO and the U.S. C-TPAT certification validates that our
internal management processes and facilities are efficient, secure and
compliant,' said Ram Arvikar, Director Global Quality&Compliance, Vectron
International. 'Completing the stringent processes to achieve the EU and the
U.S. certification demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing customers
with not only the industry's most innovative solutions but also the highest
quality service and security measures available.'
Both the AEO and C-TPAT programs are voluntary supply chain security
initiatives led by the EU and the U.S. Customs Organizations focused on
improving the security of private companies' supply chains with respect to
terrorism. These programs recognize that Customs can provide the highest level
of security only through close cooperation with the ultimate owners of the
supply chain-- importers, carriers, brokers, warehouse operators and
manufacturers. Through this initiative, Customs invites businesses to ensure
the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security
guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain.
