What 東立物流股份有限公司 does

Tonglit Logistics Co., Ltd. (東立物流股份有限公司) is a privately held Taiwanese automotive logistics company founded in February 2002 and headquartered at Taipei Port in Bali District, New Taipei City. The company provides one-stop logistics services for automobile importers, exporters, and manufacturers — covering pre-delivery inspection (PDI), value-added operations, license certificate authentication, import/export customs clearance, bonded warehousing under Free Trade Zone (FTZ) status, multimodal sea-air transport, port operations, ship stevedoring, and nationwide inland vehicle distribution across Taiwan. It holds Taiwan's first Free Trade Zone business license (September 2005) and, together with affiliated Sunlit Transportation Co., Ltd.'s 160 vehicle-trucking units, claims coverage of approximately 70% of Taiwan's vehicle distribution market with 48-hour delivery in western Taiwan and 72-hour in eastern Taiwan.

The company's service portfolio extends beyond pure logistics into complementary hardware and value-added activities: proprietary design and manufacturing of returnable, customized, confined, and folding steel racks and steel pallets; accessories designing and retrofitting (PIO) including interior/exterior vehicle accessories; and authorized vehicle conversion for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (Caddy Van, Amarok, Transporter, Caravelle, Crafter). Its core technology stack includes a self-developed proprietary Warehouse Management System (WMS) leveraging IT and 5G technology to enhance warehouse efficiency and inventory turnover, complemented by temperature- and humidity-controlled warehouses (18–20°C), multimodal transport integration near Taoyuan International Airport and Songshan Airport, and bonded storage facilities.

Tonglit monetizes through professional services fees for auto logistics, port logistics, FTZ operations, and warehouse services, alongside hardware sales for steel racks and value-added retrofitting services. It serves enterprise automotive clients across more than 20 automobile companies, with cumulative imported/exported vehicles reaching 2 million by 2022. The company operates through wholly-owned and joint-venture subsidiaries in Thailand (TAT in Bangkok, AC in Chonburi), India (TLA), the UAE (Palms Auto Parts Manufacturing in Ras Al Khaimah), and China (CQTJ in Chongqing, NVPC in Shanghai, and a Guangzhou operation), making it a regional rather than purely domestic player. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as customized B2B contracts; no app, public API, or digital self-serve channel exists. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or funding rounds.
