Furthermore, the plan aims to reorganize the collection and delivery functions at post offices in Tokyo, such as the Ginza Post Office and the Kyobashi Post Office, while also strengthening inter-company logistics.
Going forward, we aim to enhance our value as a comprehensive logistics company by strengthening collaboration with our group company, Japan Post Transportation Tokyo Branch, and creating synergies.
