TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Yamato Holdings subsidiary Yamato Transport Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Yutaka Nagao; “Yamato Transport” hereafter) will begin international cool TA-Q-BIN, a door-to-door cooler delivery service for small parcels, from Japan to Malaysia on Monday, March 28, 2016. This follows services already commenced to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.
1. Background
Malaysia has shown marked economic development in
recent years, and Japanese food has become more popular with heightened
orientation toward luxury and health. Further, Japanese groceries that
had only been sold at major department stores in the past are becoming
increasingly available at supermarkets, specialty stores, and product
fairs. Business opportunities will likely expand for Japanese businesses
with the larger demand in Malaysia and immediate elimination of import
duties with the TPP agreement.
Yamato Transport has offered the
international cool TA-Q-BIN service to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore
for speedy, quality door-to-door transport of small cool parcels through
coordination with Okinawa prefecture and ANA Cargo and using the Okinawa
International Aerial Logistics Hub. By expanding these services to
Malaysia, we will contribute to accommodating Japanese food needs in
Malaysia and expanding exports of Japan’s agricultural and marine
products.
2. Features of International Cool TA-Q-BIN from Japan to Malaysia
(1)
Can send a minimum of one parcel from anywhere in Japan
International
cool TA-Q-BIN can be used from a minimum of one parcel via sales driver
pickup or drop-off at our sales offices throughout Japan. Accepted
parcel sizes are the same as the Japanese domestic cool TA-Q-BIN.
Business opportunities will expand with the ability to easily send
parcels on a daily basis to Malaysia, where Japanese food is
increasingly popular.
(2) Delivery as early as two days later, with all-day collection
With
speedy international transport via the Okinawa International Aerial
Logistics Hub, which has 24-hour customs clearance, a Yamato Malaysia
sales driver can deliver the package to a store or home as early as in
the morning two days later.
(3) Quality door-to-door refrigerated international transport of
small parcels
Yamato Transport Malaysia inaugurated its
TA-Q-BIN service in 2011 and offers chilled & frozen parcel delivery
service within Malaysia using chilled/frozen system-equipped vehicles,
as in Japan. We will execute chilled transport within Japan, in air to
Singapore and on ground from Singapore to Malaysia using Yamato
Transport’s proprietary airfreight cooler container. By harnessing the
Yamato Group network, we will deliver fresh ingredients to the hands of
Malaysian consumers.
