Benin: On-the-ground immersion for our new Country Manager

Accompanied by Antoine Anney, Regional Director, and the Benin team composed of Maryse Colette ADIAHENO and Arnaude DJENONTIN, Claude took part in several key visits. 

The first stop was the Port of Cotonou, a crucial visit to better understand the current port environment and to tour Cotecna’s facilities, which play a central role in logistics and inspection operations. 

This was followed by a courtesy visit to the Customs Authority, where the team had the opportunity to meet with the Director General of Customs and the Director of Customs Operations (DOD). These discussions are part of strengthening our collaboration and also serve to officially introduce the new Country Manager. 

A similar courtesy and introductory visit was also held at the The National Agency for Standardization, Metrology, and Quality Control (ANM,Agence Nationale de Normalisation, de Métrologie et du Contrôle Qualité), fostering constructive discussions and collaboration with local stakeholders. 

These visits reflect our commitment to strong institutional relationships and to ensuring continuity and excellence in our services in Benin.
