Located approximately 4.8 km from the Tomei Expressway's Kasugai Interchange and 5.5 km from the Komaki Interchange, the location boasts excellent access to expressways and is also close to National Routes 19 and 41. This allows it to function as a major transportation hub not only for Nagoya City and other areas in the Tokai region, but also for the Kanto and Kansai regions.
The company plans to introduce its first-ever GTP (Goods to Person) shuttle system, aiming to realize a next-generation logistics center utilizing digital technology. By streamlining operations and reducing manpower, the company will alleviate workload and address labor shortages, while simultaneously building an operation that balances high productivity and quality through improved storage efficiency and picking accuracy.
The company plans to adopt a multi-berth system that accommodates both high-floor and low-floor truck berths, creating an environment that can flexibly handle the loading and unloading of a variety of vehicles.
