Growing Through Challenges: A Seminar for Small Transportation Companies

On January 15, 2026, Funaisoken Logi Co., Ltd., one of Japan's largest logistics consulting firms, will host a significant seminar in Osaka. This event focuses on the theme of “Growth Strategies and Management Keywords for Small Transportation Companies.” The seminar aims to equip industry leaders with actionable insights to navigate the economic challenges currently affecting their businesses.

A Industry in Transition

As we approach 2024, logistical companies are facing rising costs across various fronts, including labor, fuel, and vehicle expenses. Many owners are apprehensive, wondering how they can maintain profitability amid such pressures.

Common concerns raised by small logistics business owners include:

• - How can we negotiate for fare increases effectively?
• - Despite extensive advertising, we are struggling to attract drivers—what can we do?
• - With no clear path forward in the transport sector, where should we begin making changes?

The Seminar's Unique Value

The event, held at the Funaisoken Group's new Osaka headquarters (Innogate Osaka), will feature two guest companies sharing their remarkable success stories. They will discuss the strategies that contributed to their impressive growth—one company, for instance, saw its revenue soar from 300 million yen to 1.68 billion yen over a decade.

This provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to learn not only from challenges but also from the strategies employed by successful enterprises. By examining these case studies, participants can gather insights that may be pivotal in transforming their operations.

Special Guests and Agenda

The seminar will run from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM and is free of charge for owners and executives of transportation and logistics companies (please note that applications from competing consulting firms may be refused).

The detailed schedule includes:

• - Introduction and Welcome Remarks
• - Keynote Presentations by Guest Companies
• - Panel Discussion on Growth Strategies
• - Q&A session with industry experts

A New Beginning

In addition to this engaging seminar, Funaisoken Group is excited to announce the relocation of its Osaka headquarters effective January 7, 2026. This move symbolizes a fresh start and a commitment to better serve the logistics community.

With comprehensive insights and forward-thinking perspectives on logistics management, this seminar will set the stage for revitalizing small transportation companies navigating their growth trajectories.
