The ITOCHU Group's Mission
I am One with Countless Missions
In recent times, the logistics industry has faced great changes in its business environment. Up to now, the main function of logistics real estate has been warehouse storage, but with the increasing trend toward high efficiency and multi-functionality in the logistics industry, the functions required have also become more diverse, and logistics has become an important strategic element for business operators.
As a general trading company group engaged in many and varied forms of product distribution, the ITOCHU Group sees its mission as being to offer its customers solutions for their business strategy and other areas through logistics.
