What SBS Logistics Singapore Pte Ltd does

SBS Logistics Singapore Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based freight forwarding and logistics provider established in August 2015 as the regional logistics business control entity for the Asian operations of SBS Holdings Inc., a Japanese conglomerate listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market (ticker: 2384). The company operates from a single Singapore headquarters (61 Ubi Avenue 1) with 13 employees, and offers an end-to-end portfolio covering air freight, sea freight (as NVOCC with LCL services to over 1,000 global destinations), warehousing and third-party logistics (3PL), FCL/LCL transportation, cross-border e-commerce logistics, and logistics consulting. Its underlying technology stack centers on a real-time logistics tracking application accessible 24/7 via browser, smartphone, app, and PDA, supplemented by a multi-modal transport coordination system used for project cargo planning (HSE orientation, road surveys, feasibility studies, lashing calculations).

The company's revenue model spans transaction fees on freight forwarding and transportation, managed services for warehousing and 3PL, and professional services for logistics consulting. Its primary customer segments are enterprises in the Oil & Gas and Water Treatment verticals, served through specialized project cargo handling (Out-of-Gauge/OOG) solutions that coordinate oversized land and ocean freight, police escorts, customs clearance, barge chartering, and site installation. Secondary demand comes from general trade customers requiring standard FCL/LCL transport and consolidation services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales leveraging the SBS Group brand, with direct engagement by business development managers and sales executives targeting corporate customers across Southeast Asia (notably Singapore and Malaysia).

SBS Logistics Singapore competes primarily on the strength of the SBS Group's distribution network — over 40 locations and offices across 12 cities overseas, anchored by 24 domestic and 11 overseas group companies with approximately 22,000 employees and annual group sales exceeding 450 billion yen. The Singapore entity's strategic role is to serve as the Asian regional control point coordinating cross-border multimodal shipments, project cargo, and warehousing solutions for enterprise clients.
