Management Philosophy
Creating logistics originating from Yamagata and spreading Japanese food culture to the world
Representative Message
I was born and raised in Yamagata City, but moved to Tokyo when I entered university and started working. In 2009, I returned to Yamagata, and through my work in logistics, I became involved with many farmers and food suppliers, and realized the wonder and uniqueness of Yamagata’s food culture, which I had never known before.
At the same time, I was faced with logistics issues such as driver shortages and soaring energy prices, and I strongly felt the need for a logistics network that is not limited to a specific infrastructure, which led me to start my own business. With the support of many people involved, we are now working to create a logistics network that extends over a wide area and delivers Yamagata’s food products outside of the region.
Furthermore, in a business environment where food distribution is becoming increasingly globalized, we have come to believe that our company’s next mission is to create a more extensive logistics network. In order to give form to this idea as a business, we are taking on the challenge of import/export business.
