TOKYO—MOL Logistics Co., Ltd. (MLG; President & CEO: Osamu Sakurada) today announced an agreement with Daito Koun Co., Ltd. (President: Yoshisada Sone; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo) to form a strategic alliance that leverages the strengths of the two companies, with a focus on logistics services related to the food industry.
MLG has been offering quality services trusted by customers for many years, such as air imports of U.S. seafood. It also offers food logistics services as part of the MOL Group, centering on improvements to current warehouses and new investments, anticipating growth associated with improved refrigeration and freezing technology. Taking advantage of this network, MLG has added not only airfreight but also ocean freight forwarding to its service lineup, and established a system that can offer top-quality services to a wide range of customers.
Daito Koun has extensive experience and expertise in customs clearance, refrigeration, and frozen storage of food products, and offers high-quality services to meet diverse domestic and overseas needs. The company has a solid track record in food safety in Japan, which has strict food safety standards and requires complicated procedures.
The alliance will combine MLG’s one-stop services for forwarding, customs clearance, and storage—backed by years of accumulated expertise and an extensive international network of air and sea forwarding and logistics—with Daito Koun’s know-how and experience in food logistics, so customers can count on consistent, secure, and reliable services.
MLG will continue to create new value by jointly developing optimal solutions to meet the diverse needs of customers.
