Constantly Ahead of the Times to Meet Our Customers’ Expectations
Since the founding of Dokai Sangyo Co., Ltd. in 1956, we have accumulated unique know-how and technologies for improving logistics quality, safety and quality assurance (QA). We have leveraged our gemba-ryoku (fundamental organization capability) gained through the development of our core businesses, including overland transportation and marine transportation. We have become one of the few unique logistics companies that can truly provide continuous logistics services both in and out of Japan. We have enhanced our logistics functions by operating tank yards for hazardous chemicals, providing both coastal and ocean-going transport with a fleet of chemical tankers, and fulfilling the function of an in-house customs clearance specialist for our customers throughout Japan. We have refined our functions in packaging materials supply to enable us to provide comprehensive logistics solutions that take into account the entire supply chain from the supply of raw materials, through packaging materials, packaging, in-house operations, and storage to shipping and delivery. We have also enhanced our service quality and capabilities to operate our businesses. At the same time, our local subsidiaries in Asia provide multiple logistics bases.
In April 2021, we formulated the "Medium-Term Management Plan (FY2021 - FY2025) MCLC KV30" (*1) and set forth our vision of "becoming a leading company in the chemical logistics field" by creating "KAITEKI" logistics (*2) through providing "safe, stable and efficient" logistics and addressing social issues.
The logistics industry is facing a variety of challenges, such as addressing the current 2024 issue (*3) and working toward a sustainable society in the future. We will respond appropriately to social issues by making thorough company-wide efforts in structural reforms, employee awareness and re-skilling, and the promotion of Digital Transformation. By practicing "KAITEKI" logistics, we will contribute to the chemical industry as a whole and strive to be a chemical logistics company that is trusted by our customers, employees, local communities, and all other stakeholders.
