After two years of documentary and on-site audits by the National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN) and the Anti-Narcotics Police, Drummond Ltd. has received revalidation of its Authorized Economic Operator status in the Security and Facilitation category for the Importer user type, with an indefinite validity.
This revalidation represents the highest category in supply chain security, demonstrating the company’s commitment to each of the processes it leads, adhering to the highest international standards.
This not only consolidates the company as a safe and reliable operator, but also guarantees more efficient and stable processes for all involved.
As Martin Ahrens, Vice President of Materials at Drummond Ltd., points out: “Achieving and maintaining this rating distinguishes us as a leading company, with efficient, secure, and transparent processes. This has been possible thanks to the dedication and coordinated work of the Security, Human Resources, Tax, Systems, Legal, and Materials departments. “Teamwork and continuous effort have ensured the reliability and efficiency of our operations, which are essential to the global supply chain.”
It’s worth noting that during the audits, authorities rigorously evaluated procedures related to security, supplier management, personnel selection, facility access controls, logistics, and regulatory compliance, as well as customs, logistics, and financial processes, among others, related to the supply chain for importing materials.
As it has done so far, Drummond Ltd. will continue working to be a benchmark for security and reliability in international trade.
