16 May 2012
-- Groundbreaking ceremony held for new warehouse in Mitra Karawang Industrial Estate(Karawang Regency, Province of West Java) --
PT. Nippon Express Indonesia ("NE Indonesia"; Masayuki Nakamura, President), a local subsidiary of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. (Kenji Watanabe, President), held a groundbreaking ceremony on April 26 for a new warehouse to be erected within the Mitra Karawang Industrial Estate in the Karawang Regency of West Java Province. Attending the groundbreaking ceremony were Shigeru Ushio, Minister of Economic Affairs at the Embassy of Japan in Indonesia, representatives from Japanese companies operating in Indonesia, and other distinguished local guests as well as Jiro Nakamura, Executive Vice President of Nippon Express Co., Ltd. Prayers were offered for the safe construction of the warehouse, scheduled to be completed in November 2012.
Indonesia has achieved remarkable economic growth in recent years, and the growing number of Japanese companies attracted to the country has produced a diversification of logistics needs and sharply boosted demand for a multifunctional logistics warehouse.
The designated site for this new warehouse, the Mitra Karawang Industrial Estate, is situated 60km east of Jakarta and is garnering attention as a modern industrial estate with favorable access to major thoroughfares. The location is also linked by highway to the Port of Tanjung Priok, Indonesia's largest container port, and the estate is expected to become a central base for logistics with the construction of a new port on the northern coast of Karawang Regency.
NE Indonesia has leveraged its customs clearance license to make door-to-door transport of international air cargo its forte, and it has been expanding the scale of its operations in close collaboration with PT. Nittsu Lemo Indonesia Logistik, another Nippon Express subsidiary primarily engaged in handling international ocean and removals cargo.
Nippon Express will be continuing to enhance its logistics functions in Indonesia to provide customers with high-quality, just-in-time logistics services.
