Japan Trust’s Strategic Move into Shanghai

Japan Trust Co., Ltd., a prominent player in international logistics with headquarters in Minato, Tokyo, has announced plans to send its first representative to Shanghai, China, starting in August 2025. This decision is part of a strategic initiative to enhance logistics services amid increasing demands for speed and quality in the Japan-China supply chain.

Background and Objectives

In recent years, the supply chain between Japan and China has gained significance, prompting customers to seek faster and higher quality logistics services. The changing dynamics in cargo transport from China to the United States have considerably heightened the need for timely information exchange. As a result, Japan Trust sees the necessity to bolster its capabilities for information gathering, problem-solving, and offering valuable suggestions to customers.

The upcoming dispatch of a representative serves as a strategic maneuver to leverage the network of STAR Logistics Holdings, the parent organization of Japan Trust. An employee will be stationed at the Shanghai office of Flying Logistics, a sister company under the group, facilitating closer communication and coordination between the group members. This move will ultimately enable seamless logistics solutions for customers.

Destination Office Details

• - Location: Flying Logistics (Shanghai) International Freight Forwarding Co., Ltd.
• - Address: Room 201, Building B, No. 458 Guanghua Road, Zhuanqiao Town, Minhang District, Shanghai, China

Introducing the Representative

The company is pleased to introduce Ryuu, a skilled employee from Japan Trust who will be stationed in Shanghai as the new representative. Having lived in Japan since 2001, he joined Japan Trust in 2011. With his diligent work ethic and cheerful demeanor, Ryuu has become an expert in export operations. His proficiency in both Japanese and Chinese cultures and languages is expected to facilitate smoother communication with customers and partner companies, ensuring more tailored support.

Future Prospects

Japan Trust views this dispatch to Shanghai as a stepping stone to further enhance its international network, primarily in Asia. The company aims to deepen cooperation with different group companies under STAR Logistics Holdings, continuously adapting to the evolving and complex demands of global logistics while providing high-value services.
