This community ranges from multi-national manufacturing companies to local community warehouses used as distribution centres. From CEOs to truck drivers to policemen and insurance clerks – The global TAPA community is made of dedicated professional working in unison for secure supply chains around the globe.

The global TAPA organization is divided into three regions: Asia; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and the Americas. If you are a multinational company and have a global TAPA certification contract, the FSR and TSR sites may be audited by an approved auditor from any approved Independent Audit Body (IAB).
