The Norwegian industrial group Jackon, headquartered in Fredrikstad, is one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of insulation, building systems, wet-room and specialty products, as well as packaging for the construction industry and other sectors. Jackon AB was founded in 1989 and is today Sweden’s leading producer of insulation and packaging for the construction industry and other sectors. Jackon has a total of 21 factories in 6 countries across Europe—18 of which are located in the Nordic region. A key priority for Jackon is ensuring that its customers receive their goods where and when they want them. As part of achieving this, Jackon has upgraded to a cloud-based customs solution from Descartes.
“We are proud that Jackon has chosen our solution, and we are pleased to also contribute our expertise in customs clearance to help Jackon achieve its goals,” says Lars Persson, Sales Director for the Nordic Region at Descartes Systems Group.
Jackon’s logistics operations follow standardized procedures throughout the Nordic region, which provides a particularly high level of flexibility and reliability—exactly what their customers need. Through the implementation of the new GCT (Global Customs and Transport) solution, Jackon will simplify and streamline the handling of customs declarations and other important documentation for international freight forwarding. All updates are based on new and revised requirements from customs authorities and transport companies and are adapted and managed by Descartes in the cloud-based solution.
“By using Descartes’ customs management solution, we gain full control over our import and export declarations, and we can create faster and more secure documents for our customs management,” says Ole Iver Mæhlum, Logistics Manager for Scandinavia at Jackon AS.
