On-site logistics operations

For effective manufacturing activities

On-site logistics work is the core of our company's operations. We handle vital work which is required by our customers in their production factories from reception of parts to management of stock and progress conditions, supply of parts to manufacturing lines, etc. In order to realize effective manufacturing activities for our customers, our highly-experienced logistics specialists utilize the achievements and know-how they have accumulated over long years as well as the forklifts, turret trucks, and other transport vehicles possessed by our company to always provide the required parts at the required times. At the same time we also conduct proactive proposals and improvements to create new production management systems, contributing to the improvement of product quality.
