CLK Cold Storage

What CLK Cold Storage does

CLK Cold Storage Company Limited is a privately held Vietnamese limited liability company that operates a single temperature-controlled warehouse in Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Dong Hiep B Industrial Park, providing refrigerated and frozen storage, bonded warehouse services, consigned freight forwarding, and logistics consulting. Founded in April 2015 with stated capital of USD 18.4M, the facility spans 19,210 sqm of land and 10,135 sqm of floor area, offering total storage capacity of 20,897 tons (JRt) / 22,945 tons (USRt) across four temperature bands: ambient (15–20°C), refrigerated (5–15°C), chilled (-5 to 5°C), and frozen (-18 to -25°C / -20 to -25°C). The company's primary customer segment is Japanese food product exporters and importers routing cargo into Vietnam and the broader Southeast Asian distribution network, supported by bonded warehouse authorization and ISO 22000:2018 food safety certification (incorporating HACCP and ISO 9001 elements).

The warehouse is built to Japanese engineering specifications, using Japanese-made high-efficiency refrigeration machinery with redundant mutual-complementation, CO2 natural refrigerant, positive-pressure moisture-control HVAC, upgraded floor and wall insulation exceeding typical Southeast Asian standards, solar power generation, and full LED lighting. A dedicated web-based client inventory management portal (clk-cs.com) is provided to warehouse customers. CLK is currently owned by two Japanese strategic operators — Japan Logistic Systems Corporation and Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha ("K" Line) — following a January 2026 share transfer in which Cool Japan Fund exited its position. The shareholder composition provides direct linkage into Japanese shipping and logistics networks, which supports the company's cross-border cold-chain distribution role for Japanese food products.

Revenue is generated through quote-based pricing across three core streams: managed-services warehousing (including bonded storage), transaction-fee consigned freight forwarding, and professional-services logistics consulting. Customer acquisition runs through a multilingual corporate website (Japanese, English, Vietnamese) with an inquiry form restricted to prospective customers — explicitly prohibiting sales/solicitation use — supplemented by a YouTube channel. The company has no disclosed revenue figure, no publicly disclosed pricing, no public API or developer-facing integrations, and no app, and operates from a single facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Direct peers

• Nichirei Logistics Group: Japan's largest dedicated cold storage operator with global cold-chain and logistics operations, including SE Asia. Most directly comparable to CLK in business model (refrigerated warehousing, food safety focus) and customer base (Japanese food exporters).
• Yokorei Co., Ltd. Major Japanese cold storage and logistics company with a focus on temperature-controlled warehousing and food distribution. Closely mirrors CLK's warehousing-led model and Japanese food customer base.
• Yusen Logistics: NYK Group's global logistics arm with significant cold-chain capability and presence in Vietnam. Serves similar Japanese food exporters and provides integrated warehousing + forwarding, directly comparable to CLK's offering.
• Konoike Logistics: Japanese logistics company with cold-chain capability and SE Asia operations. Comparable business model to CLK combining temperature-controlled warehousing with distribution for Japanese customers.

Broad incumbents

• Nippon Express Holdings: One of Japan's largest global logistics groups with extensive cold-chain capabilities and established Vietnam operations. Overlaps with CLK on cold storage and freight forwarding but operates a much broader portfolio.
• Sagawa Express: Japan's leading parcel and logistics company with expanding cold-chain / temperature-controlled offerings and SE Asia presence. Broader than CLK but addresses the same Japanese food distribution customer base.
• Kintetsu World Express: Global Japanese-headquartered logistics company with cold-chain and forwarding capabilities across SE Asia. Overlaps with CLK on freight forwarding into Vietnam but at much larger scale and broader service mix.
• Americold Logistics: World's largest publicly listed temperature-controlled warehousing company. Provides the global benchmark for cold storage scale, technology, and food-safety compliance that CLK aspires to at a regional level.
• Lineage Logistics: Largest privately held global cold storage operator with extensive Asia-Pacific footprint. Comparable in core temperature-controlled warehousing activity but at vastly greater scale and geographic reach than CLK.

Others

• Sojitz Corporation: Japanese general trading company (sogo shosha) with logistics and cold-chain investments across SE Asia, including Vietnam. Comparable not as an operator but as a Japanese strategic investor in regional cold chain infrastructure - the same role Cool Japan Fund previously played for CLK.
