This innovative concept emphasizes client engagement, integrates AEO principles into corporate culture, and continues to shape our services. We proudly remain evofenedex&#8217;s&nbsp;exclusive AEO advisory partner.. . . .&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>2012: The start of the company<\/b>&nbsp;<\/h5>\n<p>In October 2012, founders Iris Snijders-Kroon and Hans Verheijen established the company, initially offering Governance, Risk &amp; Compliance services in customs and international trade. Over time, our portfolio expanded, leading to collaborations and welcoming new team members.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>2014: Establishment of GRC Customs<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>As of January 1, 2014, the company was formally founded as GRC Governance, Risk &amp; Compliance, later recognized as GRC Customs. .&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><b>2020: Diversification into Customs Representation and Compliance Software<\/b><\/h5>\n<p>In 2020, we introduced two new business segments: <a href=\"https:\/\/nlgrcc.site.transip.me\/en\/customs-clearance\/\"><b>GRC Customs Services B.V.<\/b><\/a> for customs clearance and GRC4Trade B.V. which offers a SaaS solution for monitoring AEO and other customs authorizations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nlgrcc.site.transip.me\/en\/compliance-software\/\">  <b>GRC4Trade B.V.<\/b><br><\/a> which offers a SaaS solution for monitoring AEO and other customs authorizations.

After all, having a cup at the coffee machine is also an important part of working together. We chose Leiden as our home town. A new dynamic to match the company&#8217;s growth.
