In the wake of the events on September 11th 2001 the need has arisen to establish safer chains of transport. AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) is the name of a European Union certificate that documents that the company has secure, transparent routines and is financially sound. Also it proves a high degree of care in the company’s customs and internal control procedures showing it as a quality partner in the international trade. The new certificate mirror corresponding systems in the USA and Canada.

As the very first Danish transport and logistics company, ICT Logistics A/S with its headquaters in Herning has received the AEO certificate. Leif M. Pedersen, Managing Director of ICT Logistics A/S says “We are extremely proud of this fact. We have worked hard to create transparancy and to ensure secure routines within our organisation. This work has now been rewarded through the AEO Certificate which documents that we are a serious and reliable partner in the international market. It also gives us, and just as importantly - our customers, a number of advantages. During transportation crossing international borders, companies with an AEO certificate will be prioritised as we can document a credible internal control and that our financing and the way we operate is solid and transparent. This reduces the risk of delays and detention of our clients’ shipments and other transactions.”
