Since our founding, we have striven to ensure the safe, reliable and efficient transportation of goods clients have entrusted to our care. While continuing to take pride as logistics professionals in “providing the most suitable services to our customers,” we aspire to be a “company that is chosen by customers, brings joy to customers and makes customers feel glad to have utilized our services.”
In July 2025, the Company changed its Japanese name from “Shinkou Butsuryu” to a phonetic spelling of “Kobelco Logistics.” While the new name emphasizes our identity as a member of the Kobelco Group, the use of the Western term “logistics” signals a shift in how we perceive ourselves, as well as our determination to expand the scope of our business from butsuryu, a Japanese word that can be understood as referring simply to the movement of goods, to a wider range of operations encompassing all aspects of handling goods. We expect that this evolution in our approach will facilitate the establishment of a new corporate culture that welcomes challenges and supports constant ingenuity. At the same time, we also anticipate that our new brand will inspire public trust.
We will work to improve safety, quality, environmental considerations and compliance while achieving ever more positive results with each passing day and will contribute to sustainable development alongside clients and local communities as we continue to grow. We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support as we move forward into the future.
