Road Name History: 
Since the founding of Dokai Sangyo Co., Ltd. in 1956, we have accumulated unique know-how and technologies for improving logistics quality, safety and quality assurance (QA). We have leveraged our gemba-ryoku (fundamental organization capability) gained through the development of our core businesses, including overland transportation and marine transportation. We have become one of the few unique logistics companies that can truly provide continuous logistics services both in and out of Japan. We have enhanced our logistics functions by operating tank yards for hazardous chemicals, providing both coastal and ocean-going transport with a fleet of chemical tankers, and fulfilling the function of an in-house customs clearance specialist for our customers throughout Japan. We have refined our functions in packaging materials supply to enable us to provide comprehensive logistics solutions that take into account the entire supply chain from the supply of raw materials, through packaging materials, packaging, in-house operations, and storage to shipping and delivery. We have also enhanced our service quality and capabilities to operate our businesses. At the same time, our local subsidiaries in Asia provide multiple logistics bases.
