Nippon Express is able to
unify the management of
complicated supply chains across countries.
We have also significantly reduced costs,
lead time and retained stocks.
From warehouse operations to forwarding.
Nippon Express with global bases is capable of offering a
consistent response.
We provide customers with a one-stop service from “procurement logistics,” including the
procurement of raw materials, manufacturing of products and distribution, to “sales logistics,” to
deliver products manufactured or procured. We also propose logistics solutions combining
information system developed based on rich experience and knowledge, a network of 678 bases,
267 cities, 42 global nations and international transport service deployed via land, ocean and sky to
realize fully-optimized customers’ supply chains.
Consolidated logistics strategy bases to Busan.
Shortened lead time and significantly reduced logistics costs.
For a large mail order service company in Osaka, we
conducted major logistics reform by unifying ten
scattered logistics bases into a single site in Busan. By
placing bases near Japan, we have shortened the total
leadtime. We also successfully reduced domestic stocks
and storage costs generated from each base overseas.
Moreover, we have conducted operations and transport in
the same manner as Japan and organized systems to
manage products and supply products stably.

Nippon Express has fully supported
the expansion of a car-related manufacturer in Mexico for
all transport modes from construction to production.
We introduce our know-how fostered worldwide to
various countries and regions.
With milk runs linking many parts manufacturers to production bases,
we have successfully offered “Nippon Express quality” overseas as well.
We have horizontally offered milk run procurement logistics with Nippon Express levels of quality,
as developed in Japan, to many countries, including China and Mexico, worldwide. We have also
adjusted to the road conditions unique to each country flexibly and set multiple routes simulating
all risks. This is to support customers’ safe production with logistics in mind. We have also taken
care of shipping for all suppliers, in addition to delivering goods directly to plants. Moreover, we
have offered value-added service such as quality checking before introduction to lines.
Solving various problems related to “Previo,”
a cargo inspection system unique to Mexico,
we have minimized unpacking damage caused by inspection.
Mexico has a unique customs clearance system
whereby registered customs clearing agents inspect
the content of all cargo (Previo).
This inspection sometimes damages cargo packaging
and reduces product value. Accordingly, Nippon
Express has become the only foreign company to have
established a highly functional logistics base in the San
Luis Potosí Bonded Zone and deliver customer
products safely and surely by handling and managing
customs clearances, including previo, by itself.

Answer
We conduct advanced logistics
operations to deliver,
keep and manage medical equipment.
To “deliver human life,”
we can’t afford to make any mistakes.
Globally supporting the building of supply chains for
pharmaceutical/medical equipment companies from various
perspectives such as export and import, storage, management
and delivery.
The size of artificial joint differs by the millimeter and for logistics,
optimally precise operation is required.
Case 3 Delivery of artificial joints
For an orthopedic operation, two or more artificial joints
with dimensions differing by a matter of millimeters to fit
to a patient’s body size are shipped.
After they are delivered to a hospital, only the one that fits
in the patient’s body is used at the operation site and all
others are returned. This cycle is being repeated.
When handling products used for human bodies, there is
no room for error in delivery operations. Ensuring
flawless operations, regardless of circumstances, is our
mission.
09 10
Using Nippon Express’s “knowledge of logistics” flexibly, we respond to all kinds of requirements
for logistics, quality and related laws and regulations. We propose an optimal medical logistics
solution meeting customers’ needs such as designing logistics operations considering control
requirements set out by laws and offering a WMS (warehouse management system) dedicated
to medical operations and logistics adopted for international quality management standards for
drugs and medicines.
Operations or sites having no margin for error…

Answer
Transport between Cambodia and Vietnam
via dedicated trucks without re-shipment is one way
in which we are building atransport network in
next-generation economic zones as ASEAN
In responding early to the global trend of "China Plus One",
we are meeting needs and looking further into the future.
An era of overconcentration of production
bases in China, which has been called the
“world’s factory” ended and the trend to
shift production bases to ASEAN countries
continues. Nippon Express deploys 233
bases and 970,000 ㎡-warehouses in South
Asia and Oceania regions, centering on a
regional controlling company in Singapore.
We also cover South Asia widely with
services such as “SS7000,” a cross-border
truck transport service connecting the
“Kunming-Bangkok Expressway” and the
“East-West Economic Corridor.”
With through transport without re-shipment between two
countries, we have largely reduced the operational time
required to handle cargo damage and re-shipments.
Transport from Cambodia where economic growth continues, centering on the apparel
industry, to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam that used to center on transport by water, but now has
infrastructure including roads and bridges, improved thanks to Japanese ODA takes only about
eight hours by truck. The biggest challenge to this transport is re-shipment of containers
between trucks from Cambodia and to Vietnam. In response, Nippon Express has achieved
transport without re-shipment, having nine trucks with rights of passage for both countries.

Case 4 Cambodia-Vietnam through transport
Global trends are rapidly changing,
so we need to look further into the future.

Express’
Answer
We developed standing equipment to
convey wind generation facilities
near a mountain’s ridge line.
We will meet any needs through
precise transport plans and other measures.
As the needs for special or precision transport are intensifying,
Nippon Express focuses on developing pure transport methods.
From the transport of a giant astrometric telescope to the top of a mountain as much as 4,000
meters high and the construction of an oil liquefaction plant that cannot be disassembled in
the jungle, to the shipment and installation of large precision equipment to a foreign plant,
Nippon Express has challenged a whole series of difficult issues. If there is no road, we make it
and if a port is required, we will also make it. The Nippon Express Group proposes an optimal
solution meeting customers’ needs, such as the transport of not only heavy goods, but also art
pieces and temperature-controlled air freight/maritime shipping with technical capabilities.
The construction of ecological wind generation facilities is
rapidly expanding. Nippon Express has developed unique
standing equipment to convey giant wind turbine blades.
While there are many sites suitable for wind generation in
mountainousareasinJapan,bladesforwindgeneratorsup
to 10 meters long cannot be disassembled for reasons of
strength. Therefore it was difficult to construct large wind
generation equipment in mountainous areas after
transporting the blades through winding mountain roads.
Therefore Nippon Express developed “The Blade Tilting
Device*” in 2003, which made it possible to transport very
long blades on a road that would previously have been
impassable by moving them from right to left or up and
down flexibly.

“Nippon Express’s logistics – A unique through transport service network to connect worldwide in a borderless manner”
Nippon Express has built its own borderless transport routes such as SS7000 from Shanghai to Singapore,
XB3300 from North America to Mexico and EB3000 from the Netherlands to Moscow.
Based on a network of more than 20,000 staff members overseas in 678 bases, 267 cities, 42 countries,
we fully support global business. *As of March 31, 2017
Worldwide, Nippon Express will evolve logistics in the global market.
Nippon Express’s transport service network
to support global business.
The 9,297km railroad line, the longest in
the world, connecting Japan and Moscow
via Vladivostok.
Based on each starting point in China and Germany, the Nippon Express Group conducts
through transport to cities in China and Europe.
Cross-border railway transport between Europe and China
TSR (Trans Siberia Railway)
EB3000 (Cross-border transport from the Rotterdam to Moscow.)
SS7000(Cross-border transport between Shanghai and Singapore)
XB3300(Cross-border transport Canada−the U.S.−Mexico)
The needs for high-mix low-volume transport
instead of traditional bulk high-volume transport
are growing due to changes in the supply chain
structure in Russia. EB3000 is a long-distance
consolidated truck service connecting the stretch of
around 3,000km between the Netherlands
(Rotterdam) and Russia (Moscow) by regular runs.

● Borderless Rail
This is the first railway cross-border consolidated service offered by a Japanese
logistics company for transporting to Mexico (San Luis Potosí) using railway
transport from Marion, Ohio, a collective point of delivery for the car-related industry.
● Borderless Truck
After collecting cargo from all over the U.S. at Laredo, Texas near the Mexican
border, we transport them to San Luis Potosí by truck.
Under circumstances where the manufacturing of car makers is being
expanded and more and more related parts manufacturers are rapidly entering
the market in Mexico, we offer a 3,300km-truck transport service among
Canada (Toronto), the U.S. (the Midwest/South) and Mexico (Monterrey).
Established a truck transport route of about 7,000km
from Shanghai to Singapore via Vietnam, Laos,
Thailand and Malaysia. Based on this route, we are
expanding a network to connect points in the inland
area of the Great Mekong Economic Zone.

Social contribution
To Have Nippon Express Earning Respect in
Society as a Corporate Citizen
We believe that just as individual people have character,
companies also have ‘corporate character’.
We plan to polish our corporate character,
instead of pursuing only business operations,
which are equivalent to the "body" of a company.
In order to gain recognition and be admired as a good corporate citizen by doing so,
we will continue to exert proactive efforts to contribute to society.

Disaster Support Activities
After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Niigata
Chuetsu Offshore Earthquake and the Great East Japan
Earthquake, Nippon Express urgently transported relief
supplies from across the country to affected areas. In
addition, we have supported the delivery of emergency
relief goods to areas affected by Ebola hemorrhagic
fever and the Nepal earthquake with our intermodal
transport system. We will continue to cooperate in
international assistance activities for affected areas and
offer humanitarian support through logistics.
Afforestation Activities
These reports on corporate social
responsibility (CSR) activities conducted by
Nippon Express describe, among other
things, our corporate structure for
promoting CSR activities, specific activities
and data on actual achievements.
http://www.nipponexpress.com/about/
csr/
As activities to prevent global warming and 
preserve biodiversity, we have set up “Nittsu
no mori” (Nittsu’s forest) at three places across
Japan, namely, Iidemachi, Yamagata
Prefecture, Nichinan-cho, Tottori Prefecture
and Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where
employees and their families are engaged in
activities to grow forests. They engage in
afforestation and underbrush trimming and
also have exchanges with local people.
Traffic Safety Classes
Nippon Express is offering traffic safety
classes to elementary schools and other
educational facilities in local communities
to enhance communication with
communities, traffic safety and employees’
safety awareness. These classes include the
theme “look and experience” to allow
students to learn the importance of traffic
safety more efficiently without being in
listen-only mode.
Sports
Our five sport clubs, namely a prestigious
corporate baseball club that has produced
many professional players, a Japanese
fencing club, a judo club, a sumo club and a
golf club, all play active roles as competitive
clubs which have achieved good results.
The entire company cheers on these
athletes in their matches.
Cultural Activities
Nippon Express jointly sponsors children’s
song concerts with the sisters Saori Yuki
and Sachiko Yasuda, cooperating in
bringing beautiful Japanese songs to the
children of the 21st century. The sisters also
visit junior high schools across the nation to
organize concerts in school gymnasiums or
auditoriums in collaboration with students,
teachers and parents.
SupportforatempleschoolinMyanmar
There are free schools operated by temples
and volunteers for children that can’t afford
to go to a public school in Myanmar. Nippon
Express donated funds for the construction
of a temple school with four classrooms with
an area of 293 ㎡ in Yangon in 2015. 275
students now work hard at the school daily.
We will continue to help develop human
resources and spur on economic growth by
supporting school education and so on.
CSR Reports
Environment friendliness
For tomorrow’s global environment.
Nippon Express continues striving for “earth-friendly logistics”.
The impact of logistics to “convey things”
on the environment is greater than expected.
Nippon Express has an obligation to be the first to
take measures against environmental issues as a global company.
We also aim to bequeath a beautiful Earth for the future.
“Modal shift,” an activity equating to a shift to transport means with
lower environmental burden.
“Modal shift” means a shift to transport means with a lower environmental burden. With this in mind, Nippon Express has
significantly reduced CO2 emission and costs by shifting means for bulk transport between main cities to railways or marine
vessels. In Japan, we established a consistent system between sending cargo out and back based on needs or schedules,
setting up a counter at container handling stations nationwide. We also developed an international transport product using
the “Eco-liner,” a 31-feet railway container to allow for consistent transport between 10-ton trucks and trains or vessels, using
a container of the same size as the back of the truck.
Promotion of eco-drive in Asia
The CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) is a system to achieve
part of the Japanese reduction goal of CO2 emissions by introducing
and popularizing excellent low carbon technology and other
functions in developing countries.
In 2012, our eco-drive effort in Malaysia was registered to the UN
CDM for the first time as a logistics company and the activities are
currently continued in the JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism, a credit
system between two countries) efforts in Vietnam.
Active introduction of
environment-friendly vehicles
Nippon Express is actively introducing
environment-friendly vehicles, such as
hybrid vehicles, compressed natural gas
(CNG) vehicles, electric vehicles and
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles, to
complement its efforts toward a model shift.
As a solution partner underpinning the
logistics operations of companies, Nippon
Express is striving for environmental
management by pushing for reductions of
CO2 emissions and lower pollution.
Launch of a container-matching center
Marine containers used for exports and imports become a
social problem, as trailers to return or pick up containers have
caused chronic traffic jams in surrounding areas because
they are for one-way use. In addition, the need to operate
containers more efficiently has intensified, with costs and the
environment in mind. Therefore Nippon Express opened a
container-matching center and set routes to collect and
deliver cargo based on the time of pickup/delivery, the
location conditions and other factors. Consequently, we
allowed the round-trip use of containers by proposing
optimal transport combining various customers.

    We conduct advancedlogistics operations to deliver, keep and manage medical equipment. To “deliver human life,” we can’t afford to make any mistakes. Globally supporting the building of supply chains for pharmaceutical/medical equipment companies from various perspectives such as export and import, storage, management and delivery. The size of artificial joint differs by the millimeter and for logistics, optimally precise operation is required. Case 3 Delivery of artificial joints For an orthopedic operation, two or more artificial joints with dimensions differing by a matter of millimeters to fit to a patient’s body size are shipped. After they are delivered to a hospital, only the one that fits in the patient’s body is used at the operation site and all others are returned. This cycle is being repeated. When handling products used for human bodies, there is no room for error in delivery operations. Ensuring flawless operations, regardless of circumstances, is our mission. 09 10 Using Nippon Express’s “knowledge of logistics” flexibly, we respond to all kinds of requirements for logistics, quality and related laws and regulations.

    Transport between Cambodiaand Vietnam via dedicated trucks without re-shipment is one way in which we are building atransport network in next-generation economic zones as ASEAN In responding early to the global trend of "China Plus One", we are meeting needs and looking further into the future. An era of overconcentration of production bases in China, which has been called the “world’s factory” ended and the trend to shift production bases to ASEAN countries continues. Nippon Express deploys 233 bases and 970,000 ㎡-warehouses in South Asia and Oceania regions, centering on a regional controlling company in Singapore. We also cover South Asia widely with services such as “SS7000,” a cross-border truck transport service connecting the “Kunming-Bangkok Expressway” and the “East-West Economic Corridor.” With through transport without re-shipment between two countries, we have largely reduced the operational time required to handle cargo damage and re-shipments. Transport from Cambodia where economic growth continues, centering on the apparel industry, to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam that used to center on transport by water, but now has infrastructure including roads and bridges, improved thanks to Japanese ODA takes only about eight hours by truck. The biggest challenge to this transport is re-shipment of containers between trucks from Cambodia and to Vietnam. In response, Nippon Express has achieved transport without re-shipment, having nine trucks with rights of passage for both countries. 11 12 Case 4 Cambodia-Vietnam through transport Global trends are rapidly changing, so we need to look further into the future.

    We developed standingequipment to convey wind generation facilities near a mountain’s ridge line. We will meet any needs through precise transport plans and other measures. As the needs for special or precision transport are intensifying, Nippon Express focuses on developing pure transport methods. From the transport of a giant astrometric telescope to the top of a mountain as much as 4,000 meters high and the construction of an oil liquefaction plant that cannot be disassembled in the jungle, to the shipment and installation of large precision equipment to a foreign plant, Nippon Express has challenged a whole series of difficult issues. If there is no road, we make it and if a port is required, we will also make it. The Nippon Express Group proposes an optimal solution meeting customers’ needs, such as the transport of not only heavy goods, but also art pieces and temperature-controlled air freight/maritime shipping with technical capabilities. The construction of ecological wind generation facilities is rapidly expanding. Nippon Express has developed unique standing equipment to convey giant wind turbine blades. While there are many sites suitable for wind generation in mountainousareasinJapan,bladesforwindgeneratorsup to 10 meters long cannot be disassembled for reasons of strength. Therefore it was difficult to construct large wind generation equipment in mountainous areas after transporting the blades through winding mountain roads. Therefore Nippon Express developed “The Blade Tilting Device*” in 2003, which made it possible to transport very long blades on a road that would previously have been impassable by moving them from right to left or up and down flexibly. 13 14 Case 5 Developing a method to transport with turbine blades *Patent No. 4048540 (Acquired as of December 7, 2007)  Formal name: Equipment to convey a deformed lengthy object.

    Social contribution To HaveNippon Express Earning Respect in Society as a Corporate Citizen We believe that just as individual people have character, companies also have ‘corporate character’. We plan to polish our corporate character, instead of pursuing only business operations, which are equivalent to the "body" of a company. In order to gain recognition and be admired as a good corporate citizen by doing so, we will continue to exert proactive efforts to contribute to society. 35 36 Disaster Support Activities After the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, the Niigata Chuetsu Offshore Earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake, Nippon Express urgently transported relief supplies from across the country to affected areas. In addition, we have supported the delivery of emergency relief goods to areas affected by Ebola hemorrhagic fever and the Nepal earthquake with our intermodal transport system. We will continue to cooperate in international assistance activities for affected areas and offer humanitarian support through logistics. Afforestation Activities These reports on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities conducted by Nippon Express describe, among other things, our corporate structure for promoting CSR activities, specific activities and data on actual achievements. http://www.nipponexpress.com/about/ csr/ As activities to prevent global warming and  preserve biodiversity, we have set up “Nittsu no mori” (Nittsu’s forest) at three places across Japan, namely, Iidemachi, Yamagata Prefecture, Nichinan-cho, Tottori Prefecture and Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture, where employees and their families are engaged in activities to grow forests. They engage in afforestation and underbrush trimming and also have exchanges with local people. Traffic Safety Classes Nippon Express is offering traffic safety classes to elementary schools and other educational facilities in local communities to enhance communication with communities, traffic safety and employees’ safety awareness. These classes include the theme “look and experience” to allow students to learn the importance of traffic safety more efficiently without being in listen-only mode. Sports Our five sport clubs, namely a prestigious corporate baseball club that has produced many professional players, a Japanese fencing club, a judo club, a sumo club and a golf club, all play active roles as competitive clubs which have achieved good results. The entire company cheers on these athletes in their matches. Cultural Activities Nippon Express jointly sponsors children’s song concerts with the sisters Saori Yuki and Sachiko Yasuda, cooperating in bringing beautiful Japanese songs to the children of the 21st century. The sisters also visit junior high schools across the nation to organize concerts in school gymnasiums or auditoriums in collaboration with students, teachers and parents.

    Environment friendliness For tomorrow’sglobal environment. Nippon Express continues striving for “earth-friendly logistics”. The impact of logistics to “convey things” on the environment is greater than expected. Nippon Express has an obligation to be the first to take measures against environmental issues as a global company. We also aim to bequeath a beautiful Earth for the future. “Modal shift,” an activity equating to a shift to transport means with lower environmental burden. “Modal shift” means a shift to transport means with a lower environmental burden. With this in mind, Nippon Express has significantly reduced CO2 emission and costs by shifting means for bulk transport between main cities to railways or marine vessels. In Japan, we established a consistent system between sending cargo out and back based on needs or schedules, setting up a counter at container handling stations nationwide. We also developed an international transport product using the “Eco-liner,” a 31-feet railway container to allow for consistent transport between 10-ton trucks and trains or vessels, using a container of the same size as the back of the truck. Promotion of eco-drive in Asia The CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) is a system to achieve part of the Japanese reduction goal of CO2 emissions by introducing and popularizing excellent low carbon technology and other functions in developing countries. In 2012, our eco-drive effort in Malaysia was registered to the UN CDM for the first time as a logistics company and the activities are currently continued in the JCM (Joint Crediting Mechanism, a credit system between two countries) efforts in Vietnam. Active introduction of environment-friendly vehicles Nippon Express is actively introducing environment-friendly vehicles, such as hybrid vehicles, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, electric vehicles and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vehicles, to complement its efforts toward a model shift. As a solution partner underpinning the logistics operations of companies, Nippon Express is striving for environmental management by pushing for reductions of CO2 emissions and lower pollution. Launch of a container-matching center Marine containers used for exports and imports become a social problem, as trailers to return or pick up containers have caused chronic traffic jams in surrounding areas because they are for one-way use. In addition, the need to operate containers more efficiently has intensified, with costs and the environment in mind. Therefore Nippon Express opened a container-matching center and set routes to collect and deliver cargo based on the time of pickup/delivery, the location conditions and other factors. Consequently, we allowed the round-trip use of containers by proposing optimal transport combining various customers.
