NANIWA transportation has a strong network in the fashion industry and a competitive advantage in on-hanger transportation.

Contoured by the 2024 issue, the logistics industry faces various problems of a chronic labor shortage, soaring fuel prices, and restriction of overtime work for drivers. To solve those difficulties, Fukuyama Transporting and NANIWA transportation have been discussing how to offer stabilized logistics services.

With this cooperation, we aim to strengthen partnerships in joint transportation and delivery operations. By improving loading efficiency and reducing environmental impact, we fulfill our social responsibilities for creating an environmentally friendly society as truck operators. We will realize productive and efficient logistic services to save drivers’ operating hours by sharing logistics bases.
