EtherWAN Strengthens its Supply Chain Security

EtherWAN's Contribution to Phoenix Contact’s C-TPAT Success

The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) is a voluntary initiative led by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) dedicated to enhancing the security of supply chains for private companies.

Phoenix Contact has various production sites across the globe, and EtherWAN Systems, Inc. is one of them. EtherWAN’s manufactured products were chosen for the C-TPAT audit and underwent rigorous evaluation as part of the C-TPAT assessment process, contributing to a maintained secure supply chain framework.

In September 2023, the CBP assessed Phoenix Contact’s security practices, and EtherWAN successfully met all crucial security criteria, reinforcing Phoenix Contact’s C-TPAT membership. This assessment proves that Phoenix Contact, in partnership with EhterWAN, has implemented effective security measures across the operations, eliminating potential security vulnerabilities.
