HHETH provides customers in Thailand with efficient services and access to all needs. Services include air and sea freight forwarding, warehousing, and logistics services. It also aims to expand its services in cross-border transportation. Currently, the company is expanding warehouses to support more growth under the company’s main business plan.
Mr. Sato said, “Currently, we are expanding our warehouse to accommodate more transport volume in preparation to support the growth of the warehouse and logistics business in the future according to the plans of the head office. The new 20,000 sq m warehouse is in the Bang Phli district of Samut Prakan, with easy access for importing and exporting products. It can also comfortably connect to various transport destinations and origins, including airports, seaports, and city center areas. Therefore, it also has the potential to accommodate future growth.”
In addition to its recent warehouse expansion, HHETH has launched a new business under the name ‘H.O.T. Logistics’ as a domestic land transportation service provider. It is a joint investment with the company’s long-standing partners, TAC and Logistics One.
“Although the world has suffered the pandemic crisis over the last two years, we can still see the potential in the logistics business as its growth rate continues to increase. It is also part of our business plan to expand into the business of domestic transportation. Therefore, we decided to open H.O.T. Logistics by joining hands with TAC and Logistics One. The main purpose is to support the company’s core business and expand the service coverage. It is also a preparation for the future expansion of the cross-border transportation business,” said Mr. Sato.
Mr. Tan also added: “In terms of business expansion, we will be adding tools that will allow us to provide the most complete and efficient service to our customers, such as increasing the number of trucks and equipment, enlarging the truck size, expanding the area coverage, as well as expanding the service across the borders into neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Cambodia, and other Southeast Asian countries. We will also add more service frequency and increase quality and efficiency. We have partners who have the expertise and can finely support this growth. Logistics One, for example, specializes in cross-border transportation to neighboring countries. Each country has different requirements. For example, trailers must swap to local trucks in some countries. Some, such as Cambodia, allow tractor-trailers with a special permit to operate across the border. In this case, Logistic ONE already has permission. Therefore, we can provide more agile, faster, and more efficient services. This is how we combined the expertise of the three partners to provide our customers with the most efficient service.”
From a long-standing relationship as shareholders and partners to a new joint venture that combines the expertise of each party, the new company will expand the scope of service and network coverage, as well as the confidence of its customers. The launch of this new business thus strengthens the relationship, support, and reinforcement among the three companies. It is also a good sign for Hankyu Hanshin Express (Thailand) as it enters its 30th year of operation in Thailand.
Finally, Mr. Okafuji concluded: “I would like to thank all the employees who worked together to the best of their ability, as well as our shareholders and partners. Hankyu Hanshin Express (Thailand) will continue to pursue its goals unceasingly. As we are on our way to celebrating the 50th anniversary over the next 20 years, I would like to ask that we all help each other, believe in each other, and work together; so that everyone, including our company, grows even more.”
