Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

NYK does not have the kind of strong domestic base in Japan that characterizes Nippon and others. It has aggressively grown international markets and expanded through organic growth and acquisitions. NYK Logistics started in 2001 by combining purchases and adding a transportation and warehouse network to expanding contract logistics and airfreight operations. Contract logistics and distribution are strong in Europe. In the Americas, seven companies have been combined to create NYK Logistics Americas, with a broad suite of logistics services offered in North, Central and South America. Automotive, industrial and retail verticals are emphasized. Its automotive logistics includes roll-on/roll-off, JIT and parts distribution. Sister company Yusen Air & Sea is a major airfreight operation, particularly within Asia and recently set up a strategic agreement with Panalpina. Nippon Cargo Air is now an NYK-owned entity and NYK Logistics Americas has its own airfreight forwarding capability.
