In order to improve the efficiency of logistics and solve social issues, three printing inks manufacturers started joint delivery in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

TOYO INK CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and Representative Director: Hideki Yasuda), DIC Graphics Corporation (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President: Director Operating Officers: Toshiyuki Kai), and Sakata Inx Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka, President: Director Operating Officers: Yoshiaki Ueno) are the three printing inks manufacturers. In order to improve the efficiency of logistics and solve social issues against the backdrop of the "Logistics 2024 Problem," we will start joint delivery initiatives in the Tokyo metropolitan area in November 2025, focusing on offset inks and related products for information media, for which the market continues to shrink.
With the overtime regulations for truck drivers that began in April 2024, shipper companies are required to streamline their overall logistics. In order to respond to this situation, the above three companies will promote the efficiency of logistics through joint delivery.
Currently, many of the supplier areas of each company overlap, but joint delivery will help reduce the number of delivery trucks, reduce CO2 emissions, and solve the major challenges faced by the logistics industry, such as the shortage of drivers, as well as curbing the ever-rising logistics costs.
Starting with this initiative in the Tokyo metropolitan area, we will continue to consider joint transportation and delivery nationwide, and strive to further promote logistics efficiency and maintain a stable logistics system.
