(Takahisa Tanaka, President; hereinafter abbreviated as "NGO") in Singapore with the aim of strengthening its ocean freight forwarding business, and the new company opened for business on Monday, May 23.
（Mr. Takahisa Tanaka / Managing director / NGO）
The NX Group has positioned forwarding as one of its core businesses in the "NX Group Management Plan 2023 - Dynamic Growth" and has accordingly been working to expand its handling of ocean cargo as the base cargo for its forwarding business.
In 2020, Nippon Express set up a Global NVOCC Center ("GNC") in Japan to select shipping companies, centralize purchasing, develop price-competitive NVOCC products, and improve and support services. To further enhance these functions and expand cargo handling capabilities, the GNC's functions were transferred to multicultural Singapore, home to a diverse pool of human resources skilled in ocean freight operations, and the new company NGO opened for business on May 23.
