## Shutoken Butsuryu to Open 'Gifu Center' in Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture
Shutoken Butsuryu (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Tomoaki Komagata) will open the 'Gifu Center' in Kaizu City, Gifu Prefecture, on June 1, 2026, to strengthen its shared delivery network connecting the three major metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.
The company currently provides shared delivery services throughout Eastern Japan, expanded into the Chubu area last year, and began full-scale operations in the Kansai area this fiscal year. The new Gifu Center will serve as a wide-area shipping hub for transports from the Chubu region to the Kansai, Hokuriku-Shinetsu, and Kanto regions, and will operate as a core hub for strengthening the shared delivery network in the Chubu area.
### Restructuring the Chubu Area into a Dual-Hub System

This system will achieve:
- Shorter delivery lead times

- Expanded delivery capacity
- Reduced driver working hours
- More efficient trunk transportation
By doing so, the company will build a structure to provide higher quality and more stable logistics services. Furthermore, it will enhance its ability to handle wide-area transportation originating from the Chubu area and promote the optimization of its transport network to the Kansai, Hokuriku-Shinetsu, and Kanto regions.
### Shared Delivery Strategy Addressing the 2024 Logistics Problem
In the logistics industry, as addressing driver shortages and the '2024 Problem' becomes a major challenge, there is an increasing need for transportation efficiency through shared delivery and the construction of sustainable logistics infrastructure. The company focuses on solving the logistics challenges of its clients and building a stable transportation system by promoting improved loading efficiency, route optimization, and CO2 emission reductions through its shared delivery services.
With the opening of this Gifu Center, the company will further strengthen its wide-area logistics network, including the Chubu and Kansai areas, and aims to continue providing sustainable logistics services.
