NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (President and CEO: Satoshi Horikiri) announced that its group company, NX South Asia & Oceania Co., Ltd.

The NX Group positions 'establishing a presence in the Indian market' as one of its key challenges in realizing its long-term vision of 'a logistics company with a presence in the global market.' The Indian Ocean region, in particular, is a strategic market where continuous expansion of logistics demand is expected due to the progress of international supply chain reorganization and the expansion of the regional economy, while new business opportunities are emerging across various industries. On the other hand, the speed of market change is rapid, and the characteristics of trade and logistics differ by country, region, and industry. Therefore, to reliably capture opportunities, a system that integrates market analysis and strategy formulation across the region is essential.

Against this backdrop, NXSAO established the 'Indian Ocean Strategy Office' in October 2025 and proceeded with preparations for full-scale operations. In February 2026, to accurately respond to the diverse needs of Indian companies engaged in a wide range of businesses, new specialist marketers were assigned, leading to full-scale operations. This strategy office will lead market trend analysis, growth strategy formulation, and the creation of new business opportunities. By deepening customer insights through specialist marketers, it will enable the provision of higher value-added logistics solutions. Through these initiatives, we will promote the strengthening of trade lanes and the advancement of logistics services in the Indian Ocean region, contributing to the business growth of our customers.

The NX Group will continue to aim for further growth as a global logistics company by integrating its global network with local expertise and creating a agile system that can respond to changing market environments.
