SENKO Co., Ltd. (Head office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President: Kenji Sugimoto; "SENKO") opened the "Hyuga PD Center 2 (located in Hyuga City, Miyazaki Prefecture; "new center")" on April 12.
The new center is located in the Hososhima Industrial Park adjacent to Hososhima Port where the Hyuga PD Center was opened in 2011, in a convenient area approximately 6 km from "Hyuga IC" on the Higashikyushu Expressway with excellent land and marine access. Hososhima Port operates regular domestic and international cargo services between Tokyo, Osaka and Kobe, as well as major ports in China, Korea and Taiwan.
The new center features a freezer warehouse and dangerous goods warehouse that the Hyuga PD Center did not have, making it the first such multi-function logistics center to open in the logistics industry in Miyazaki Prefecture. The center also includes disaster prevention capabilities, as it can operate as an evacuation shelter for local residents if disasters like earthquakes or tsunamis strike.
Going forward, SENKO will work on responding to increased cargo volume for existing customers and securing new orders, as well as providing high value-added logistics services by increasing the scope of handled freight, such as frozen produce and dangerous goods. This will enable SENKO to approach new customers such as major manufacturers seeking growth in communities, and also focus on handling cargo imports and exports by leveraging the location of the new center.
In addition to expanding business by enhancing logistics capabilities in Miyazaki Prefecture, SENKO is also contributing to development of the local community.
