LOGISTEED America

What LOGISTEED America does

LOGISTEED America, Inc. is a US-based freight forwarding and logistics subsidiary of the LOGISTEED Group, a diversified global logistics conglomerate. The company delivers a unified set of ten service modules — ocean freight, air freight, customs brokerage, duty drawback recovery, contract logistics, project logistics, supply chain management, factory relocation, consulting, and the proprietary TrakIt tracking system — to enterprise customers requiring complex cross-border and domestic logistics. Operations are anchored by 16 US branches combined with access to the parent's 763+ worldwide locations, supporting services across 50+ industries with reported 98%+ inventory accuracy and 2M+ custom entries handled annually.

The business operates a direct B2B enterprise sales model, with named customers spanning automotive (Hitachi Astemo), chemicals/fragrances (Berje), print and marketing services (HH Global), and specialty fabrics (Ultrafabrics). Revenue is generated through transaction-fee billing on ocean and air freight movements, contract-based contract-logistics engagements, and professional services for duty drawback recovery, factory relocation, and consulting. The proprietary TrakIt system provides shipment-level visibility and business analytics that have been migrated to a unified global tracking platform, and the company has begun positioning within the IoT ecosystem via a partnership with KDDI Spherience, debuting at CES 2026.

Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales through the 16-branch US network with inbound content marketing, including a 2025 Trade War Resource Center established to capture demand from customers navigating tariff disruption and customs compliance. As a private subsidiary of a global parent group, LOGISTEED America benefits from parent-funded scale and international reach while operating with no disclosed external funding rounds and no public financials.
