The company also specialises in Trade Compliance with its team of former US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials as well as individuals with backgrounds in customs brokerage, retail and law. Klaus Rud Sejling, Head of Global Logistics and Services at Maersk, commented:
“Customers have been asking us to simplify the complexity of their global supply chains and reduce their risk so we analysed the North America market to see who had the best reputation in the brokerage/trade compliance industry and deliver immediate results to all vertical segments of our account base. Our findings identified Vandegrift’s top tier, professional service provider reputation, strong operating platform of services, stellar people and culture ideally fit our expectations and commercial approach as One Company.
“Transportation costs and trade compliance risk management are a strategic issue for our customers. We believe we have an opportunity to better design a more holistic customs brokerage and trade compliance plan and overarching strategy for customers. This will set them up for long term success, improve their cost and risk structures and use our combined team expertise, digital tools and process improvement thanks to this acquisition.”
