Herford: another trans-o-flex site awarded the demanding TAPA certification

(PresseBox) (Weinheim, )
.
  • Security standards of the global consignor organisation fulfilled
  • TAPA standard FSR-C 2020 stipulates security training, precise descriptions of all security-relevant processes and defines constructional requirements, for example for fences, access regulations or video surveillance
The global TAPA organisation has confirmed it – the processes and the site of trans-o-flex Express in Herford meet the TAPA standard FSR-C 2020. This means that a further site of trans-o-flex Expressdienst, which specialises in the healthcare, cosmetics, consumer electronics and other high-end, sensitive goods sectors, has been awarded the highly demanding TAPA certification. Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) is an independent organisation supported by consignors, which has established the highest security standards in transportation worldwide.

"The TAPA standard FSR-C 2020 is more demanding than anything there is in ISO quality management in terms of security requirements and provides the ideal basis for the further development of our security processes and technology," explains Wolfgang P. Albeck, CEO of trans-o-flex. "The highest security standards are vital for a company that specialises in the transportation of sensitive goods," the company boss continues. "But it is almost as important to document the level achieved to the outside world."

Certification requires all security-relevant processes to be described. Clearly defined technical security installations are required. Both are audited annually. Last but not least, all persons involved in transportation and handling must regularly undertake security training. TAPA, which was founded by discerning consignors, also makes very specific constructional demands, for example on fences, access regulations and video surveillance. For example, all the certified sites have been equipped with a video management system that enables a targeted and quick search for individual packages.

trans-o-flex's core areas of expertise are logistics solutions for the healthcare, cosmetics and consumer electronics industries and other sensitive goods. The company has built up transport networks to carry goods throughout Germany and Austria at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius or 2 to 8 degrees Celsius actively temperature-controlled and documented in accordance with EU regulations for healthcare transport. These EU-GDPs require the highest standards for safety and security, cleanliness, reliability and transparency, from which all trans-o-flex customers benefit. trans-o-flex operates internationally via the networks EUROTEMP (temperature-controlled logistics) and EURODIS (in 36 European countries). In contrast to parcel and groupage services, trans-o-flex delivers parcels and pallets on a consolidated basis. trans-o-flex Express offers numerous express and time-slot deliveries, special services such as hazardous goods transportation (without minimum quantity regulation), consignment consolidation and direct deliveries. The range of services is complemented by warehousing, order picking and individual value-added services such as serialisation and deserialisation of pharmaceuticals. This means that the company covers the entire logistics chain from procurement through to fulfilment. The annual turnover of the trans-o-flex companies, which employ a total of around 1,793 people (FTEs, end of 2021), amounted to around 522 million euros in 2021.
