Operations to begin on June 1
Nittsu Logistics Myanmar Co., Ltd. (Hiroshi Nojiri, President), a subsidiary of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Mitsuru Saito, President), has completed construction of the Thilawa Logistics Center, a multifunctional logistics warehouse in the Thilawa Special Economic Zone (SEZ), and will start operations there on June 1.
The Thilawa SEZ in which the Thilawa Logistics Center is located is an industrial park jointly developed by Japan and Myanmar as a public-private enterprise and situated about 20km southeast of downtown Yangon. As of the end of March 2017, about 80 companies from 16 countries/regions, including Japan, Thailand and Singapore, had decided to set up operations there. These companies are mainly from the construction material, food and beverage, apparel, and automotive-related industries.
There are plans to expand the cargo terminal at the adjacent Thilawa Port, and to widen the roadways connecting the outskirts of Yangon, where this SEZ is located, and the border with Thailand. This SEZ itself is scheduled to undergo expansion, raising the possibility that it will become a major production/logistics hub.
Nittsu Logistics Myanmar provides comprehensive logistics services, including air/ocean cargo forwarding, customs clearance, domestic distribution (including bonded transport), cross-border truck transport, warehousing, and heavy haulage. With Myanmar expected to see further development, the company will continue enhancing its logistics functions in Myanmar to meet the full range of customer needs and further expand its global logistics business.
