LBC Express has been formally recognized by the Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) after successfully achieving the TAPA Facility Security Requirements (FSR) 2023 Single Site Level C Certification. The recognition marks a significant milestone in the company’s continuing efforts to strengthen security standards across its logistics and warehousing operations.
The certification specifically covers secure warehousing operations, excluding IT and cybersecurity systems, and highlights LBC Express’ compliance with globally recognized best practices in facility security, risk mitigation, and loss prevention. TAPA’s FSR certification is granted only to organizations that meet strict international security benchmarks designed to protect assets and reduce risks across the global supply chain.
Rene Fuentes, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of LBC Express, emphasized that the recognition highlights the company’s long-standing commitment to operational integrity and customer trust. He said the certification validates the organization’s ongoing efforts to build secure, disciplined, and resilient logistics operations that customers can depend on.
Fuentes also stressed that security goes beyond regulatory compliance for the company. Instead, it forms part of LBC Express’ core service promise — ensuring that every shipment entrusted to the company is handled with the highest level of protection throughout the logistics chain. Achieving the TAPA FSR 2023 Level C certification reinforces the organization’s dedication to maintaining robust safeguards and continuously improving operational processes.
The TAPA Facility Security Requirements framework is widely respected across the logistics and transportation industries. Developed by the Transported Asset Protection Association, the framework establishes minimum security standards for warehouses and logistics facilities that handle high-value or theft-sensitive goods. These standards cover areas such as facility access control, perimeter security, surveillance systems, and operational procedures aimed at preventing cargo theft and ensuring supply chain integrity.
By securing the Level C certification, LBC Express demonstrates that its warehousing facilities meet internationally recognized standards for physical security and operational governance. The certification also reflects the company’s structured approach to facility management, including strong oversight, clear operational protocols, and the implementation of effective security controls.
Industry observers note that security certifications such as TAPA FSR have become increasingly important as logistics companies handle larger volumes of high-value goods and eCommerce shipments. For logistics providers, meeting international security standards helps assure customers, partners, and global supply chain stakeholders that shipments are protected from potential risks and disruptions.
For LBC Express, the certification is part of a broader strategy aimed at strengthening operational excellence while maintaining the trust of customers who rely on the company for secure and reliable logistics services. As the company continues expanding its domestic and international network, enhancing facility security remains a key pillar of its long-term growth and service strategy.
