The Transported Asset Protection Association (TAPA) was founded as a not-for-profit industry Association in 1997 to help Manufacturers & Shippers and their Logistics Service Providers minimise losses from their supply chains resulting from cargo thefts. Today, the Association provides a host of industry standards, training, incident intelligence, route planning and networking tools and opportunities which are used by member companies as part of their own in-house supply chain security programmes to manage risk and optimise loss prevention.
