The NX Group first set up its operations in Singapore in 1973 and has grown its 
presence from local market operations into a regional hub leveraging Singapore’s
world-class connectivity across air, sea and land to support complex supply chains
across Asia. Today, Singapore houses the NX Group’s regional headquarters, Nippon
Express (South Asia & Oceania) Pte. Ltd., which oversees 15 countries across Southeast
Asia, South Asia and Oceania, as well as several local subsidiaries. Through these
companies, the Group offers a broad base of capabilities including air and ocean
freight forwarding, logistics support services and heavy haulage.

The Group views Singapore and the broader Southeast Asia region as key growth markets,
given their strong growth potential and diverse industrial base. Its Singapore base
serves as both a regional management center and an important gateway supporting 
the Group’s business expansion into Southeast Asia.

The purpose of EDB’s visit was to discuss the NX Group’s global growth strategy 
and explore how Singapore can support by serving as a potential base for key global
functions to drive business expansion in Asia. Representing the NX Group were NIPPON
EXPRESS HOLDINGS President Satoshi Horikiri, NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS Senior Managing
Executive Officer Satoshi Otsuji and Nippon Express (South Asia & Oceania) President
Katsuhito Kobayashi.

The NX Group’s global growth strategy seeks to capitalize on Asia’s growth potential
and Singapore’s international business-friendly environment against the backdrop
of a multipolar global logistics market and ongoing efforts to restructure supply
chains and diversify sourcing.

They also examined the use of AI and automation technologies in the logistics industry,
exploring the possibility of utilizing Singapore as a hub for incorporating AI and
other digital technologies into logistics services while strengthening the NX Group’s
IT solutions capabilities and developing functions such as logistics operations 
design and launch, warehouse automation verification and human resource development.
As one of these initiatives, the Singapore operations have already introduced AI-
enabled forklifts and robotic sorting systems, using these technologies to improve
safety and productivity at logistics sites. The meeting reaffirmed the commitment
of EDB and the NX Group to further deepening the partnership and expanding areas
of cooperation to support the NX Group’s continued growth in Singapore.

The NX Group remains committed to further expanding its global network and providing
high-quality logistics services to ever more customers around the world.
