SPI Lasers Achieves Quality Designation
SOUTHAMPTON, England, April 5, 2019 — SPI Lasers, the U.K.-based designer and manufacturer of fiber lasers, has achieved a mark in quality status with Authorized Economic Operator (AEO), demonstrating effective security and customs compliance within its supply chain in the face of a post-Brexit Britain.
This accreditation is part of SPI Lasers’ Brexit contingency planning with the goal being to aid frictionless trade with the EU and ensure that customers worldwide continue to receive prompt delivery of their products.
Michelle Staniland, import and export services manager for SPI Lasers, said providing customers with the highest levels of service and support is a priority.
The AEO concept is based on the Customs-to-Business partnership introduced by the World Customs Organization.
