F-LINE Corporation Relocates for Enhanced Logistics Operations

In a significant strategic move, F-LINE Corporation has decided to relocate its frozen logistics operations from Higashi-Ogishima, Kawasaki City, to the upcoming multi-temperature logistics facility, CBRE IM-LOGI'Q Shin-Koyasu, currently being developed in Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City.
