We are proud to announce that we successfully completed the AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) compliance process, which we began in 2019, and officially earned the AEO certification in November 2021. The AEO status is an internationally recognized certification granted to companies that fulfill customs obligations, maintain an organized and traceable record system, demonstrate financial competence, and meet safety and security standards. Shaped by our ISO 9001 Quality Management System, ISO 10002 Customer Satisfaction Management System, and ISO 27001 Information Security Management System, our processes will be further strengthened with the addition of the AEO certification. The efficiency we gain in terms of cost and time will enhance our competitiveness in both domestic and international markets. With the AEO certificate, we take pride in being a reliable company that meets the conditions specified in the regulations, contributing further to the national economy. We would like to express our gratitude to our valued customers, audit and consultancy institutions, suppliers, and all our stakeholders who supported us throughout this process.
