What Izumi Logistics does

Izumi Logistics Co., Ltd. (イズミ物流株式会社) is a privately held Japanese trucking and logistics company founded in 1986 and headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, operating as a core subsidiary of Daisei Holdings. The company runs 20 operational teams across 12 prefectures covering Kanto, Tohoku, Chubu, and Kansai, with 360 vehicles (primarily 2-3 ton and 4 ton trucks) and a crew of 505, of which 423 are drivers, providing 24/7, 365-day temperature-controlled transportation and delivery.

Its service portfolio spans three core lines: (1) Food Logistics for convenience stores, supermarkets, food manufacturers, and confectionery clients (including Yamazaki Pan and Suehiro Confectionery) with multi-temperature delivery from manufacturing plants and distribution centers; (2) Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Logistics, centered on the Yonezawa Logistics Center in Yamagata Prefecture, a 3,225 sqm GDP/GMP-compliant facility with three temperature zones (frozen -20°C to -30°C, chilled +2°C to +8°C, ambient +15°C to +25°C), four-system BCP power supply, and a growing stack of pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturing/wholesale licenses; and (3) General Cargo and Apparel Logistics, providing picking, delivery, and brand-aligned distribution for fashion retailers.

Revenue is generated through custom-priced B2B enterprise contracts (transaction-fee and managed-services models), with no public pricing. The company has launched a structured foreign-worker program under Japan's Specified Skilled Worker (i) framework, including a tripartite training academy (UZBEKISTAN PROUD ACADEMY) in Angren, Uzbekistan, a wholly-owned asset-investment subsidiary (IZUMI INVESTMENT LLC) in Tashkent, and a Registered Support Organization certification. The stated 2030 targets are ¥10B in sales and a 33% foreign driver ratio, indicating an explicit growth and labor-scaling strategy.
