What Hanjin does

Hanjin Intermodal America Inc. is the US logistics subsidiary of South Korea's Hanjin Group (founded 1945, third-largest Korean conglomerate), delivering integrated multimodal logistics services from its base in Ridgefield, NJ, with 101–250 employees. The portfolio spans five core service lines: warehouse and fulfillment (with proprietary WMS), global air and ocean freight forwarding including plant and project cargo, aviation logistics services (ground handling and Road Feeder Service), global express including D2D, Ehanex overseas direct purchase, Global Distribution Center, and Cross Border Transaction Services, and US government contracts covering GSA freight forwarding and military household goods moves. US operational footprint includes ~175,000 ft² of warehouse space across California, New Jersey, Oregon, and Illinois; ground handling at four major airports (JFK, ORD, SEA, DFW); and, via the parent group, a network spanning 150+ cities in 80 countries, plus its own customs clearance office in the Incheon International Airport Free Trade Zone.

The technology foundation is a proprietary logistics platform combining a custom-built Warehouse Management System, Terminal Management System, and Business Intelligence tooling for real-time supply chain visibility, reporting, and forecasting, with direct integrations into Shopify, Amazon, and Walmart for inventory and order management. Revenue mechanics are diversified across transaction-fee freight forwarding, recurring warehouse/fulfillment subscriptions, managed services for aviation ground handling and government logistics, and professional services for supply chain consulting; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer mix spans enterprise B2B (aerospace, defense, automotive, semiconductor, medical, cosmetics, F&B), e-commerce and retail sellers, US federal agencies (GSA, DoD), airlines (Korean Air, Lufthansa), and individual consumers via Ehanex. The company holds IATA, NVOCC, CTPAT, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certifications that materially shape its eligibility for regulated and security-sensitive cargo, and it operates as a registered DoD Transportation Service Provider and a GSA freight forwarder for Camp Humphreys.
