"We are our customer's logistics department"
Logistics Plus Japan K.K CEO
Takefumi Hosomi
This is the DNA of our Japanese subsidiary, derived from our American DNA of “Passion for Excellence”.
In a rapidly changing social environment, old-fashioned logistics companies are no longer viable. To build a corporate structure that enables quick thinking and action in response to change, we not only employ staff who are familiar with logistics but also assign individuals with backgrounds in manufacturing and the wholesale industry. This allows us to quickly identify customer issues from various angles and implement effective solutions. This is the feature of Logistics Plus Japan. We always strive to build relationships of trust with all of our stakeholders and continue to provide value that exceeds their expectations. This is our promise to you.
Please accept my best regards.
CEO Takefumi Hosomi
