ACAI was founded to close the gap between global trade standards and local execution — combining Testing, Inspection & Certification with Third-Party Logistics under one accountable team.
ACAI emerged from a simple observation: East African trade needed a partner that could both verify the cargo and move it — without losing accountability between the two. The world's best TIC companies need qualified local sub-contractors; traders need logistics they can trust. We built one company to serve both.
Our founders came from senior TIC and logistics industry roles and built ACAI as an integrated operation — inspection teams and logistics coordinators working side by side, sharing the same standards of documentation, speed, and integrity.
No commercial interest in trade outcomes. Our integrity is our only product.
Every observation, measurement, and report reflects the facts on the ground — exactly.
Trade doesn't wait. We mobilise fast and deliver documentation within 24 hours.
Our inspectors sign their work. We stand behind every certificate we issue.
