Novo Logistics Achieves AIB Certification: Elevating Food Safety & Operational Excellence

At Novo Logistics, we’re proud to share an exciting milestone: our Sparks, Nevada multi-client warehousing facility achieved AIB certification in March. This accomplishment reflects our ongoing commitment to operational excellence, food safety, and delivering best-in-class service to our clients across the country.

What AIB Certification Means

AIB certification is a globally recognized, third-party audit that verifies a facility meets rigorous food safety and sanitation standards, based on AIB International’s Consolidated Standards for Inspection of Food Distribution Centers.

While voluntary, this certification is far from optional in today’s supply chain environment. It serves as a trusted benchmark for companies handling food products, ensuring that warehouses maintain the highest levels of hygiene, safety, and operational discipline.

What the Audit Covers

Earning AIB certification requires a comprehensive evaluation of warehouse operations. The audit examines:

• Sanitation programs to ensure clean, contamination-free environments
• Operational procedures that support safe and efficient product handling
• Employee training on food safety best practices
• Pest control systems to prevent contamination risks
• Facility maintenance and cleanliness across all storage and handling areas

This rigorous process ensures that every aspect of our Sparks facility meets strict industry standards.

Why This Matters for Our Partners

For our partners — especially those in the food and beverage space — AIB certification delivers tangible value:

Enhanced Food Safety. Our certified processes help prevent contamination and protect product integrity throughout the supply chain.

Reduced Risk. Strong sanitation and handling protocols minimize the likelihood of costly recalls or disruptions.

Trusted Partnerships. Many major food brands require or strongly prefer AIB-certified facilities, making Novo a reliable and compliant partner.

Operational Efficiency. The discipline required to meet AIB standards drives improved processes, consistency, and overall performance.

A Commitment to Continuous Excellence

AIB certification is valid for one year, requiring annual audits to maintain compliance. This ensures we don’t just meet standards once — we uphold them consistently, alongside the quality standards and audits we apply across every Novo facility.

For Novo Logistics, this achievement is part of our ongoing commitment to raising the bar for service, safety, and reliability. When you’re searching for a 3PL partner that prioritizes food safety and operational excellence, we’d love to connect.
