In its first-quarter financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, announced on August 13, Suzuken disclosed its plans for the development of its logistics business.
In response to the "2024 problem," we have constructed and begun full operation of the "Metropolitan Area Logistics Center" in Soka City, Saitama Prefecture, starting in April 2024. This center is the first of its kind in the industry, combining a wholesale logistics base that utilizes the latest robotic technology to achieve automation and labor-saving, with a manufacturing outsourcing and manufacturer logistics area.
In addition, in May 2025, we signed a provisional agreement with Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, for the sale of land for a new logistics hub covering the Chubu region, tentatively named the "Chubu Region Logistics Center" (construction scheduled to begin in October 2027).
Going forward, we aim to maximize the use of the group's logistics network, including the "Tokyo Metropolitan Area" and "Chubu Area" centers, to achieve various benefits such as increased efficiency through automation, reduced transportation costs, quality compliance with GDP standards, environmental benefits such as reduced CO2 emissions, and further strengthening of BCP (Business Continuity Plan) responses in the event of a disaster.
The Suzuken Group plans to continue introducing new systems to achieve "transformation of existing businesses" in stages.
