Who We Are

An integrated trade services
company built for
East Africa.

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.

Our Story

Built on the
ground, not
a boardroom.

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.

Our Values

What we
stand for.

Independence

No commercial interest in trade outcomes. Our integrity is our only product.

Precision

Speed

Trade doesn't wait. We mobilise fast and deliver documentation within 24 hours.

Accountability

"To be East Africa's most trusted integrated trade services partner — verifying the quality of goods and ensuring they reach their destination with precision and integrity."
