The History of SENKO

Comprehensive Proposal
Capabilities

Creating value bytranscending the conventionalboundaries of logistics

Providing ourcustomers with highly
optimized supply chains

One century has passed since the founding of Tomita Shokai, the SENKO Group’s forerunner, in 1916. The Grouphas expanded in both its businesses and its performance by embracing the challenge of pioneering innovation in
every era. As we look towards the next 100 years, the SENKO Group is more eager than ever to embracechallenges as it strives to resolve social issues and create new value through its businesses.

From our founding in 1916 to today, we have evolved our logistics know-how and expanded the scope of ourservices to meet the expectations of our customers. From logistics consulting to the design, administration, andoperation of systems, SENKO has the advantage of being able to make proposals that fit the needs of ourcustomers.

Founding of Tomita Shokai,
the forerunner of SENKO

Development and expansion oftransport structures

Transformation into a comprehensive logistics
company

Tomita Shokai was established in 1916 as a
specialized distributor for Nippon Chisso Hiryo, achemical industry conglomerate. In 1941, thecompany name was changed to Nicchitsu Unyu,
and became a subsidiary of Nippon Chisso Hiryo.
The post-war policy of breaking up corporate groups
known as zaibatsu led to Nicchitsu Unyu being
dissolved in 1946, and in its place the establishmentof a new company, SENKO Transport. The Japanesecharacter for sen (fan) used in the name of the newcompany was a reference to one element in the logoof the former Nippon Chisso Hiryo, which showed aJapanese “rising sun” on a folding fan.

In 1965, the Company installed thefirst computer ahead of competitors,
and in 1970 began to further bolster
its information and proposal-writing
skills, for example by consulting on
distribution issues. In 1973, toexpress our determination to take on
the challenges of businesses otherthan distribution, the corporate namewas changed to SENKO Co., Ltd.

In 1980, we began the nationwide expansion of PD
centers, incorporating multiple functions such as
storage, shipping, and distribution processing. In 1985,
we started major home center operations.
In 1996, we opened Crefeel Koto, the Company’scomprehensive training center for transportation safetyand distribution in Shiga Prefecture. We have improved
education for drivers and forklift operators, and arefurther boosting quality and productivity on site. In 1981,
we had already established a local subsidiary in the
United States, and in 1996 we opened our first
distribution center in China as part of our full-fledged
expansion overseas.

Personnel Training

Safety Initiatives

Providing an educationalfoundation for developing
professionals

Thoughts on
precious safety

Our corporate motto, as well as our commitment to supporting customers’ businesses since our founding,
are the inheritance of each and every employee and remain deeply engraved in our hearts.

We provide sustainable logistics with a safety philosophy embedded in a solid foundation of safe practices.

Our Corporate Motto:

Safety Concepts:

Sure, Swift, and Smile
We will fulfill our obligations from the standpoint of customers througha commitment to our mission as a logistics service provider and a dedication
to providing services backed by the best technologies, skills and behavior.
This is the SENKO “3S” spirit.
Educational facilities supporting personnel training
The SENKO Group operates logistics training facilities based on the idea that “to create an outstanding workplace, we must first develop professionals.”
Located in Higashiomi City, Shiga Prefecture, Crefeel Koto, one of the largest facilities in Japan, has a 270,000-square-meter site with facilities like an
auto traffic training facility that offers training in various situations, a school where large vehicle and towing licenses can be earned, and accommodations.
It provides training for our employees, and also for group employees. In recent years, we have further enhanced our educational foundation by
establishing the Crefeel Nagareyama training facility in Nagareyama City, Chiba Prefecture.

Based on the spirit of respect for human beings and safety above all else,
we will strive to ensure a completely accident-free workplace.
Improvement toward a safer working environment
In warehouses, stored products create blind spots, and there is alurking danger of collisions between people and forklifts. In response,
we have introduced arch lights to provide notification of the presence ofa forklift. This prevents collisions even in warehouses with lots of noiseand blind spots.

Truck accidents are most likely to occur when reversing. As a safetymeasure, SENKO has installed truck sonar (rear proximity alarm
devices) that prevents collisions by providing notification of rear
obstacles.

Sensor installation locations: 2 at top and 4 at bottom

Crefeel Koto

Thorough safety education that integrates in-house technology

Crefeel Koto

Diverse educational systems and tools supporting personnel training❶ Trainer system❷ Skill contests

We have introduced a trainer system to equalize the skill level of the field
workers who contribute to the quality of logistics. Drivers and forklift
operators who have received training at our in-house training facility,
Crefeel Koto, become trainers and spread what they have learned tobranch offices and sales offices in each region. This system has led toa reduction in the accident rate for drivers, and has received great
praise from customers.

Since 2006, we have held SENKO Group skill contests, with the goal of
improving the skills of drivers and operators. We hold truck and forklift
driving competitions where employees from all over the country andoverseas compete in the logistics skills that provide safety and security
to customers.

The knowledge that we have relied upon in our 100 years in the logistics industry since
our founding has been compiled for use as an educational tool. In addition toprofessional personnel development training based on this tool, we are disseminating
the right attitudes, knowledge, and skills for SENKO employees through training topass on the core skills required for each business and basic training conducted byqualified trainers of the in-house certification system assigned to every area of theCompany.
In addition, in order to maintain advanced field capabilities on a permanent basis, weare also focusing on the training of managers and supervisors and promoting
systematic training by establishing training programs for each position and year andvideo learning programs to provide necessary knowledge.

Green Transformation

DX Initiatives

Working toward a societal
commitment to sustainability
by actively addressing
the Green Transformation

Addressing customer issues
and establishing new services

Economic activity poses major risks to the global environment through the threats of global warming, water
shortages, and resource and energy constraints.
We acknowledge a particular need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Initiatives aimed at reducing CO2
emissions and improving industrial competitiveness (collectively termed the “green transformation”) have been
attracting attention. We believe the effort to decarbonize our customers’ entire supply chains presents a challenge
as well as a business opportunity. We are thus actively promoting relevant initiatives.

DX in the logistics industry, which faces many issues such as labor shortages and diversifying delivery needs,
is called Logistics 4.0. It has gained a major role through the use of next-generation technologies such as IoT and
AI to change conventional business models and solve social problems.

Progress in modal shift for long-distancetransport
SENKO is moving forward with a modal shift to the overlapping
use of trucks, railroads, and ships in long-distance trunk transportwith one-way distances exceeding 500 km. In addition to
decarbonization, modal shifts can also help maintain stabletransport by reducing long-distance transport and promoting
work style reforms for drivers. In addition, we are promoting
marine transport as a transport mode that is resistant to risks
such as disruption of roads and railroads by natural disasters.

Using DX to solve customer problems

Introduction of double-trailer trucks
As part of the logistics bus service menu, in January 2022 we started operatinga double-trailer truck that allows one driver to transport two large trucks’ worthof luggage for long-distance transport. Two large-sized trucks pick up
packages separately, and the two trucks are connected and departed from
SENKO’s location as a double-trailer truck. During the long-distance highway
segment, it is transported by a single driver and during its journey the driver isreplaced at the double-trailer truck docking station, it is driven by another single
person up to the detachment point, where it is divided into two vehicles, a large
truck and a semi-trailer, by what is called the dolly method* and they head toeach destination at the same time. This contributes to double reduction ofdriver hours and CO2 emissions.

* Dolly method: Connecting and detaching from the trailer using a dolly (coupling device)

Many customers who use our logistics services have great expectations for solutions
to issues such as reducing logistics costs and CO2 emissions.
Our goal is to use DX to solve our customers’ problems.
SENKO aims to build the industry’s first digital network for all transport modes as a
new service that meets customer needs.
One example of this is the logistics bus reservation system. Thissystem provides information on the shortest lead time and theamount of CO2 reduction from SENKO’s own logistics network,
allowing customers to compare listings of the duration, costs, andCO2 reduction of transportation, supporting them in selecting thebest route.
Note: Logistics bus reservation system: You can easily check thetransportation pattern, transportation status, CO2 emissions,and other aspects of registered orders.

Logistics bus

What kind of DX does SENKO aim for?
Our vision for the future of logistics
The future of logistics that SENKO is working towards is zeroenvironmental-impact logistics, with the goal of achieving carbon
neutrality by 2050.
This is an overview of the zero-CO2 logistics center that we areworking towards. Uses renewable energy to eliminate CO2
emissions at logistics centers. Introduces next-generation vehicles
and utilizes generated renewable energy. With these and otherinitiatives, SENKO is making steady progress toward achieving asustainable society.

efficiency, reduce costs, and achieve safety and stable quality.

Our 20-foot bulk containers are filled through a pipeline from the silo of the
manufacturing plant. At the delivery destination, the product is then dumped from thebulk container into the recipient’s silo. With this system, we are committed to preventing
contamination with foreign matter and maintaining product quality. Shipments todelivery destinations can also be provided by rail and marine transport, which are moreenvironment-friendly modes of transport. Moreover, by increasing the size oftransportation lots, we can reduce the costs of transportation and cargo handling.
