Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport & Urban Development (JOIN)
announces its decision and receipt of approval from the Minister of the Land, Infrastructure, Transportand Tourism of Japan, to provide capital up to approximately US$ 47 million to establish acomprehensive chemical logistics center in the U.S., jointly with NRS CORPORATION (NRS), aJapanese leading chemical-logistics service company.
With the funding from NRS and JOIN, NRS LOGIOS AMERICA INC. will construct a storage
warehouse in Casa Grande, south-central of Arizona, where demand is expected to experience strong
growth for chemicals and hazardous materials from increased manufacturing of semiconductors andbatteries. This project is NRS's first comprehensive logistics center outside of Japan.
NRS, with over 70 years of experience has established a robust reputation domestically andinternationally, is a front runner amongst logistics companies specializing in chemicals and hazardous
materials. The company is poised to capture the strong demand for chemical logistics in Arizona, whereglobal semiconductor manufacturers are expanding their operations. Leveraging on its strength, NRS
will provide comprehensive one-stop logistics services covering transportation, storage, distribution,and ISO tank container leasing. JOIN’s support to this project will boost NRS’s continued growth in its
overseas business markets.
Furthermore, this safe and high-quality logistics service is expected to contribute to a substantial
number of Japanese chemical suppliers to enter and deepen their business in the U.S. market. Throughthis project, JOIN encourages not only NRS's expansion but also serves to bolster Japanese companies'
resilience in the global semiconductor and digital industry supply chain, enhancing their international
competitiveness.
