“After months of strategic planning and coordinated teamwork, I’m excited to see our teams move in and make this beautiful new campus come to life,” said AIT’s President and CEO, Vaughn Moore. “To me, this building is a showcase that reflects our continued growth as a company, and one that will go a long way towards enhancing the delivery of world-class service for our customers, both on the West Coast and around the world.”
“Beyond the brick-and-mortar aspects of the facility, the greatest benefit for our customers is that it’s a single point of access to all of AIT’s transportation logistics services and expertise—from the company’s robust life sciences and high tech verticals to customs clearance,” Moore added.
With 24/7 security—including round-the-clock video and in-person monitoring—18 dock doors, a secure yard, pharmaceutical pre-conditioning capabilities, a cage for high-value freight, and thousands of square feet of freezer and refrigerator space, the two-story, 106,000-square-foot warehouse is also strategically located near the 405 and 110 freeways for quick access to the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, as well as Los Angeles International Airport.
AIT’s Chief Operating Officer, Keith Tholan, noted that the size of the campus provides flexibility and scale for the increasingly in-demand service of transloading shipping containers.
“Building this new office and warehouse space from the ground up allowed us to design a highly efficient, more eco-friendly facility that best meets our customers' needs,” Tholan said.
He added that the location’s sustainability-focused features include five electric vehicle chargers in the parking lot, electric forklifts, and energy efficient lighting throughout the building.
Bonded and approved by the U.S. Transportation Safety Administration as a certified cargo screening facility, the new office is also fully compliant with the company’s Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism membership and certified to export defense cargo in accordance with International Traffic in Arms Regulations. The facility is also Transported Asset Protection Association and ISO 9001:2015 certified.
With plans to grow the location’s teammate population by about 30% in the coming years, Tholan noted that AIT also designed the space to attract top talent, incorporating state-of-the-art audiovisual and security technology, standing desks, a micro market with healthy food options, and other amenities.
This location joins the more than 50 AIT offices across North America—and more than 100 across the globe.

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
