In February 2026, Izumi Logistics established IZUMI INVESTMENT LLC in Uzbekistan and began investment and leasing businesses targeting logistics-related assets such as commercial vehicles. The establishment of IZUMI-VODIY is the first project since the company's establishment.
The business will utilize three leased trailer heads to transport beverages, processed foods, industrial materials, and other goods.
Izumi Logistics will be responsible for logistics know-how cultivated in Japan, quality and safety management, fundraising, and business management. Meanwhile, VODIY STAR TRANS will leverage its local customer base and logistics network to handle sales, customer service, vehicle dispatch, container arrangement, maintenance, and driver recruitment and management.
Going forward, the company aims to expand its transportation network by capturing transportation demand not only within Uzbekistan but also in neighboring Central Asian countries. Furthermore, it intends to contribute to the development of economic exchange and cooperation between the two countries through its logistics business.
