About the Company

Nippon Express

Global freight forwarding and logistics provider

Nippon Express Holdings is a global logistics provider that moves goods by sea, air, and land, handling items from small components to large equipment and sensitive pharmaceuticals. Its services include freight forwarding, customs clearance, warehousing, and end-to-end supply-chain solutions across a network in more than 50 countries. The company operates through the NX brand after shifting to a holding company structure in 2022, leveraging an extensive global network and strategic acquisitions to offer integrated logistics services. Compared with competitors, Nippon Express distinguishes itself through its scale as one of the world’s largest freight forwarders, its long government-led origin and privatization history, and its active expansion through acquisitions like cargo-partner (2024) and Metro Supply Chain Group (planned 2026) to broaden its global reach. The company's goal is to become a dominant global logistics player by its 100th anniversary in 2037.
