Chilled & Frozen Logistics Holdings Co., Ltd. is a joint holding company formed in October 2015 by the merger of two business companies, Meito Transportation Co., Ltd. and Hutech norin Co., Ltd.,, whose core business is the cold chain logistics for food products.
The spread of the new coronavirus infection over the past three years has greatly changed people's awareness and lifestyle. By clarifying the characteristics of viruses and establishing anti-infection measures, including medical treatment, the world is finally regaining stability, and people are trying to create a new lifestyle while feeling the joy of going outside, gathering and talking.
Even while people were forced to live in their homes due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, we have continued to have a sense of mission to deliver daily necessities, including food products. No matter how much people's lifestyles change, we will continue to fulfill our mission in the logistics business while adapting to changes.
On the other hand, issues surrounding us are increasing, such as rising energy costs, compliance with laws and regulations regarding working hours for drivers and other logistics workers (the 2024 issue), and measures to address global environmental issues such as climate change. In response to these issues, we will take on the challenge of building resilient and sustainable logistics by utilizing temperature management of chilled and frozen, our strengths, and our nationalwide network centered on our own facilities.
As a leading company in the cold chain logistics for food products industry, we will continue to support the lives of our customers, create new value, and contribute to society.
We look forward to your continued guidance and encouragement.

Chilled & Frozen Logistics Holdings Co., Ltd. was established on October 1, 2015 by Meito Transportation Co., Ltd. and Hutech norin Co., Ltd. as a holding company under which they became wholly owned subsidiaries through joint transfer of their respective shares.
Our group has been primarily focused on cold chain logistics for food products out of the many segments of the logistics industry. Since its establishment in 1959, Meito Transportation Co., Ltd. has handled the transportation and delivery of chilled foods, while Hutech norin Co., Ltd. has been engaged in warehousing for frozen foods since it was founded in 1953.
In the more than 60 years of their history, the two operating companies have pioneered a joint delivery system for the respective temperature ranges in which they operate, to raise the efficiency of transport and delivery. Over the years, the two companies remained focused on their respective fields of expertise as industry leaders in the domain of cold chain logistics for food products. Hutech norin was also a pioneer in the development and introduction of an automated storage and retrieval system for low-temperature warehousing.
However, the environment surrounding logistics and related needs has been rapidly evolving, prompting us to respond flexibly and quickly to change and to diversify our business in cold chain logistics for food products. Accordingly, Meito Transportation Co., Ltd. and Hutech norin Co., Ltd., with their respective strengths in the transportation and delivery of chilled foods and warehousing of frozen foods, decided to join hands to maximize their synergies by leveraging those strengths and achieve their stated goal of becoming a comprehensive logistics information enterprise focused on low-temperature operations in the ever-changing industry of global food distribution.
