What MLC ITL Logistics Company does

MLC ITL Logistics Company Limited is a Vietnam-based integrated logistics provider and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Japan's Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation, founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City with regional offices in Hanoi and Hai Phong. The company operates across five core service lines: international and domestic freight forwarding (air and sea), warehousing services (Container Freight Station, Bonded Warehouse, Distribution Center, and Cold-Chain), domestic road transportation (FTL/LTL via the DASH and Road Transport Center sub-brands), port and Inland Container Depot operations (5 ports/ICDs connected by 34 barges), and specialized cold chain solutions. It serves enterprise B2B customers in FMCG, manufacturing, food and beverage, energy (wind power project cargo via related entity Vietranstimex), and pharmaceutical/cold-chain verticals.

The company's physical asset base includes 350,000 square meters of warehouse space across HCMC, Hanoi, and Da Nang, over 50,000 cold-chain pallets, 200+ prime movers, 400+ container chassis, 70+ small trucks, plus cross-border transportation capacity into China, Cambodia, and Laos. Its technology stack centers on a proprietary e-TMS (electronic Transportation Management System) built in-house by its own ICT team, with GPS tracking across the fleet and a mobile app for proof-of-delivery; cold chain operations are supported by a HACCP-compliant WMS with full EDI capabilities, 24/7 operations, and cross-docking.

Revenue is generated transactionally across service lines — freight charges by weight/volume/destination, warehouse storage and handling fees, transportation rates per shipment, and specialized cold chain handling fees — sold through a dedicated enterprise field-sales team assigned to key accounts, with pricing quote-based per engagement. The company operates within the broader ITL Group ecosystem that includes Sotrans Logistics, Vietranstimex, Dash Logistics, and ITL Log, providing cross-modal bundled solutions and access to Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation's international freight forwarding network.
