ナビエース関東株式会社 Company Profile

In August of this year, Naviece Kanto Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the transportation division, 'Naviece Kanto Logistics Co., Ltd.,' relocated its factory from Soka City, Saitama Prefecture to Itakura Town, Ora District, Gunma Prefecture, and expanded its production capacity. They have purchased new trucks (5 units of 4-ton trucks + 1 unit of 10-ton truck = a total of 6 units). ◆ Increased demand due to the expansion of production facilities ◆ Customers' efforts towards carbon neutrality are accelerating * The reinforced cardboard and cardboard pallets handled by Naviece are often used for environmental improvement purposes. Therefore, the purchase of new trucks is aimed at improving service for customers whose delivery locations have become farther due to the factory relocation. We aim to provide even faster and more timely deliveries than before, and the entire company is committed to this effort. ↓↓↓ Please check the following materials for examples of our logistics improvement initiatives ↓↓↓

In 1952, Naviece Co., Ltd. was established in the Chubu region with the aim of "turning wooden boxes into cardboard." As of September 1, 2023, the company has renamed its group company "Fukuno Cardboard Industry" to "Naviece Kanto." As mentioned earlier, the company aims to achieve: - A low-carbon society - The creation of a work environment that is easier for people working in logistics It specializes in using its unique products: - Reinforced cardboard "Naviece" - Cardboard pallets "Navipallet" to transport goods over long distances, such as for exports, and excels in custom packaging design for heavy and complex products like engines and large motors. In recent years, due to the expansion of demand in the Kanto region: In 2018, production began in the Kanto region through the acquisition of Fukuno Cardboard Industry (located in Soka City, Saitama Prefecture). In 2023, due to the aging of Fukuno Cardboard Industry's factory and the increasing demand for heavy packaging, the factory was relocated to Itakura Town, Ora District, Gunma Prefecture (10 minutes from the Tatebayashi Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway). Additionally, equipment updates and expansions are being carried out. As mentioned earlier, the company name was also changed to "Naviece Kanto" as of September 1, 2023, to better respond to the expanding demand in the Kanto region.

The long-established cardboard manufacturer "Fukuno Cardboard Industry Co., Ltd.", which started operations in 1940 (Showa 15) before the Pacific War, will change its company name to "Navieace Kanto Co., Ltd." as of September 1, 2023. In 2018, we began a partnership with our current parent company, Navieace (formerly Nakatsugawa Packaging Industry). We started the production of the reinforced cardboard "Navieace" and cardboard pallets "Navipallet," which are patented by Navieace. Along with this, we have been promoting the proposal activities for converting wooden boxes, wooden pallets, and plastic pallets for export in the Kanto region into cardboard (which is environmentally friendly). In August 2023, we relocated our factory from Soka City, Saitama Prefecture, to Itakura Town, Ora District, Gunma Prefecture, doubling the site area. We made capital investments to accommodate the increased demand for heavy-duty packaging using the reinforced cardboard "Navieace." Then, on September 1, 2023, we will change our company name to "Navieace Kanto Co., Ltd." and shift our focus to becoming a company specialized in heavy-duty packaging. In long-established companies, many outdated packaging forms still remain, and we often see people using them despite finding them inconvenient. We hope our efforts can contribute to improvement activities.
