ANC International

What ANC International does

ANC International Co., Ltd. (주식회사 에이엔씨인터내셔날) is a privately held Korean integrated logistics provider incorporated in Seoul in April 1986, with operating roots traceable to Cheonil Regular Freight Co., Ltd. established in 1975. The company delivers end-to-end international freight forwarding and domestic logistics across five core product lines: air and ocean forwarding (export/import, consolidation, door-to-door, bonded transport, NVOCC), general and bonded warehousing with WMS-enabled inventory management, bulk/chartering/project cargo for oversized and nuclear/power-plant equipment, specialized book and e-commerce 3PL, and shipping line agency services as the Korean general agent for Indonesia's state-owned Samudera Shipping Line across Asia-Pacific routes.

Underpinning these services is a logistics information management system featuring an online Cargo Tracking Service operational since 1999, a Warehouse Management System supporting FIFO and task-based processing with DAS/MDAS automation integration, and real-time GPS monitoring for domestic transportation. Distribution is executed through a hybrid model: nine owned branches in the Americas (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago), East Asia (Seoul headquarters, Busan, Changwon, Qingdao, Hong Kong), and Southeast Asia (Ho Chi Minh City since 2019), supplemented by 50+ domestic Korean partners and 100+ overseas agent relationships that extend reach into regions without direct presence.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with dedicated logistics managers assigned to key accounts, department-specific direct phone lines for inquiries, and participation in trade shows. Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight forwarding, managed-services fees on warehousing and 3PL, and commissions on shipping line agency bookings. Enterprise customers include Korean chaebol and state-owned shippers such as LG Electronics, Hanwha Chemical, KEPCO, KHNP, Korea Gas Corporation, and LS Cable & System, plus Apple (Vietnam) for air export cargo. Operating geographies span the United States, China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, South Korea, and the broader Samudera network across South and Southeast Asia.
