Through our mother center, goods can be distributed from factories to our logistics centers without the need for transshipment.
It takes an average of about 30 minutes to unload pallet deliveries, and work productivity has improved more than threefold (results of Kanto Frozen Mother Logistics Center).

Tackling challenges in the frozen food industry

To tackle challenges in the frozen food industry like driver shortages, an aging workforce, and lengthy waiting times, we have launched the “Frozen Mother Logistics Center” initiative, which is expected to significantly enhance efficiency.
The key lies in palletization, the process of loading goods onto pallets for transportation, handling, and storage. Though palletization has long been a standard practice streamlining and enhancing efficiency in logistics, the frozen industry has lagged behind other temperature zones. On the manufacturer’s side, the adoption of pallets was slow due to a focus on loading efficiency over operational efficiency and the use of pallets of different sizes, leading to manual loading and unloading for each shipment. In addition, some older wholesale centers had narrow dock doors that made it impossible to handle pallets with forklifts.
