Temperature-controlled
warehouse capacity
Nichirei Logistics Group has a total temperature-controlled warehouse capacity of 6.0 million cubic meters. That is equivalent to about 12.0 million 500-liter capacity refrigerators. From agricultural products, fish and meat to ice cream and frozen foods, a wide range of goods are stored under controlled temperatures.
Delivery trucks
In Japan and overseas, Nichirei Logistics Group operates about 8,000 delivery trucks on the roads daily. Were all these 10-ton truck stacked one on top of the other, they would reach a height of about 30,000 meters—very high indeed, given that Mt. Everest is 8,848 meters high. This vast number of trucks enables us to provide comprehensive transportation services nationwide.
