Customer Showcase: Trancy Logistics (Thailand) Co., Ltd. - Creating Harmony between Logistics and People, All over the World

Ranked highly in the logistics industry, Japan Transcity Corporation has had a strong presence in Thailand since 1990, when their local entity Trancy Logistics (Thailand) was set up. At the time, it was the early days of Japanese businesses expanding in Thailand and the company was among the first to recognize local logistics needs. Actively working across marine, air, domestic and cross-border transport and logistics centers, Thailand has been its strategic Southeast Asian base, as the hub of the manufacturing industry.

Trancy’s logistics centers deal with a wide range of commercial materials and goods, such as various types of automobile components, electric equipment and electronic devices. In March 2017, they opened a new center at Hemaraj Logistics Park 1 (HLP1), due to an increase in clients and transaction volumes. The company’s managing director, Mr. Kenji Kawamura, noted that Hemaraj provided “empathetic consultation and a great deal of accurate and helpful information” regarding not only conditions of location, but also the logistics circumstances in the vicinity and customs, with precise correspondence supported by rich data.

The area overlaps with the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) route, which the Thai government is promoting with great focus with plans for infrastructure development. Trancy Logistics’ presence in HLP1 is part of its strategic location, as all their logistics centres have been built for the best access to transportation and are located close to their customers’ factories. The company’s presence has strengthened over time in the region and they have also set up a representative office in Myanmar where growth is expected.
