History

The company was established in 1937 in line with the Nippon Tsu-un Kaisha Law as a semi-government transportation service by pooling the assets of Kokusai Tsu-un KK (International Express Co., Ltd.), which consolidated many of the nation's small-scale rail transport companies, and six other competitors, with additional funding from the Japanese government. After more than a decade of operation the company was fully privatized in the 1950s. ^[2]

Activities

At the end of 2013 Nippon Express Co Ltd bought 67 percent of Panasonic Logistics which is owned by Japanese electronics group Panasonic Corp. ^{[3] [4]}

Nippon Express indicated in September 2017 to plan to raise 100 billion yen ^[5] in debt capital over two years to consolidate several warehouses in the Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya regions. The company also planned to install labor-saving equipment, and to build transit warehouses in overseas locations, such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

On January 4, 2022, the company implemented a new brand identity, in accordance with the transition to a holding company structure in the same month. The company has used "NX," the shortened form of NIPPON EXPRESS, as the group brand.
