NE Indonesia Logistics Center Receives TAPA Class A Certification

On March 31, PT Indonesia Nippon Express (Hidenobu Kawashima, President), Nippon Express' local air cargo subsidiary in Indonesia, was notified that its logistics center in the Soewarna Business Park adjacent to Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport had been awarded Class A certification by TAPA for meeting that organization's security standards for air cargo handling.

TAPA is the acronym for the Technology Asset Protection Association, a non-profit association of security professionals and security managers at high-tech and household appliance companies that was founded in the US in 1997 and began operations in Europe in 1999. The standards established by TAPA are also used to improve the level of safety in the transport industry, and they are regarded worldwide as the premier guidelines for practical security and safety methodology. Clients, especially those in high-tech industries, have come to demand that transport companies also satisfy TAPA standards.

TAPA offers three levels of certification with increasingly strict requirements from Class C to Class A, the class awarded to NE Indonesia, the first Japanese air freight forwarder operating in Indonesia to earn Class A certification.

The Nippon Express Group will endeavor to have more of its facilities certified by TAPA in future as it continues providing high-quality service.
