Message from the Company
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.
Our company was established in November 1961, when the transportation division of Okatsune Shoji Co., Ltd. became independent. For the past 65 years, we have remained dedicated to the specialized transportation of sugar, primarily delivering to major food and confectionery manufacturers.
As a trusted partner to our clients, our mission is not only to deliver products safely but also to provide peace of mind. To enhance our services, we have built our own warehouses and parking facilities, and expanded our fleet of specialized vehicles for sugar transportation, thereby strengthening our capabilities as a logistics company.
At the same time, we have made it our core management policy to respond to societal demands by ensuring transportation safety, protecting the global environment, and fostering a comfortable working environment. These three pillars reflect our commitment to ESG (Environment, Society, Governance), and we will continue to actively evolve our ESG-focused management practices.
As concrete expressions of this policy, we have obtained certifications such as the G-Mark for safety excellence, Green Management certification, and the Workplace Certification for promoting a comfortable work environment. Guided by these principles, we operate our business with a strong focus on social contribution.
We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support and guidance from our clients and customers, as well as the tireless efforts of our employees. We will continue to strive in our management endeavors without losing sight of our gratitude to all those who support us. We sincerely ask for your continued guidance and encouragement in the years to come.
