Echo Global Logistics Receives CTPAT Validation from U.S. Customs

Echo Global Logistics has earned validation under the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Certified in Transportation Partnership (CTPAT) program. This makes Echo one of only ten non-asset-based third-party logistics (3PL) providers nationwide to achieve this designation. The CTPAT program is a voluntary U.S. government initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen and improve overall supply chain and border security.

The validation signifies that Echo Global Logistics meets stringent security requirements across its supply chain operations. This is particularly relevant for companies engaged in the import and export of goods to and from the United States. Echo, headquartered in Chicago, operates a technology-enabled brokerage model, and this CTPAT validation adds a new layer of supply chain security to its services.

Achieving CTPAT validation underscores Echo's commitment to maintaining high security standards and collaborating with government agencies. This recognition is expected to enhance the company's competitive position in a market increasingly focused on supply chain integrity and reliability.

The validation process involves a thorough review of a company's security practices, including measures related to cargo, personnel, and information technology. Echo's successful validation demonstrates its adherence to these critical security protocols.
