Nippon Express (South China) Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Shenzhen, China; President: Takeshi Morishita; hereinafter, "NESC"), a Chinese subsidiary of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (President: Mitsuru Saito), has changed its name to Nippon Express Automotive Logistics (China) Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Guangzhou, China; hereinafter, "NEALC"), effective Thursday, October 24, 2019, and made a new start as a company specializing in automotive logistics.
An unveiling ceremony was held at the company's head office on Tuesday, October 29, to mark the name change.
Since opening for business in November 2008, NESC had been supporting its customers' supply chains by providing high-quality services such as milk-run and trunk transport of automotive parts utilizing the Nippon Express Group's trucking network connecting major cities in China, just-in-time (JIT) transport to assembly plants using its own logistics centers as hubs, and round-the-clock parts inventory/order management and vehicle operation management by a specialist team as a "Super SCM (Supply Chain Management) operational management package".
In choosing to specialize in automotive logistics covering all of China, NESC recently transferred its ocean cargo transport and overseas removals operations to the Guangzhou Branch of Nippon Express (China) Co., Ltd. (Chairman: Tatsuo Sugiyama) with the intent of further expanding its own business by developing and enhancing its automotive logistics operations in China. Accordingly, NESC has been renamed Nippon Express Automotive Logistics (China) to make it more widely known that it is now a company specializing in automotive logistics.
[Future plans]
NEALC will be looking to expand beyond its existing automotive parts procurement logistics to take on EV parts procurement logistics, maintenance parts logistics and finished-vehicle transport as well.
