Contact Us ～About Us ・ Introduction of Sumitomo Warehouse～ Moving forward together into the future. Sumitomo Warehouse (U.S.A.), Inc. is a member of Sumotomo Warehouse Group. We had our 120-year anniversary on July 1st, 2019, and started a new journey with a slogan: Moving forward together into the future. We have expanded our business from our original warehouse business to land transportation, port operations, international freight forwarding, real estate management and ocean transportation since 1899. As the family business of the Sumitomo family, Sumitomo Warehouse started their warehouse business in 1899. The headquarters was in Osaka and a branch was opened in Kobe. (The Sumitomo family crest is pictured on a roof tile used for a warehouse.) Eichizenbori Warehouse of Tokyo Branch in 1921 (The current site of Tokyo Sumitomo Twin Building) Kawaguchi Warehouse of Kawaguchi Branch in 1929 (The current site of Kawaguchi Terminal Kawaguchi Trunk Room, Osaka Branch) Global Network of Sumitomo Warehouses This was made possible because goods move systematically on a global scale. And our global network is the foundation of this kind of global logistics movement. The transportation of goods with at least two different modes of transportation like vessels, airplanes, vehicles, and rail is called multimodal transport or combined transport. If goods are exported to another country, our work begins with moving a shipment to a port and executing export procedures, and continues by booking it for ocean or air transportation, loading and unloading, executing import procedures at the destination, and delivery to the final destination. We, Sumitomo Warehouse Group, can take care of all these phases of transportation from the beginning until the end. More Information about Sumitomo Warehouse CASE STUDIES CASE 1 A Food Producer For the Establishment and Development of a US Subsidiary Situation/Needs A subsidiary in US was established. An overseas representative from Japan and local staff were assigned. A new office needed to be opened, if possible, near the storage warehouse. Proposals Proposed an office space in our warehouse in Los Angeles and also providing parking space adjacent to the office for the employees Proposed offering assistance for setting the telephone lines and internet such as introducing a service provider. Proposed offering assistance for simple assembly and sampling works Situation/Needs The products were produced by their own factory in Asia and were imported into the US by vessels. They used to be stored in their agent's warehouse. But with the establishment of a US subsidiary and for the purpose of business expansion, their storage needed to be directly managed. The resources after opening the subsidiary were limited. The employees were occupied by their daily operations and wanted to focus on administration and sales by having a service provider take care of ocean transportation from Asia and storage/distribution. Proposals Proposed contacting their factory in Asia by our global network, and arranging ocean transportation from Asia to Los Angeles. Provided shipping information to all appropriate parties in a timely manner. After arrival at the ports, arranging customs clearance in the US, delivering the goods to our storage warehouse, and arranging deliveries all over the US. Reduced their operation burdens by providing our thorough service. We provide assistance as your logistics partner for your business expansion by utilizing our global network. CASE 2 A Chemical Manufacturer To Reduce Transportation Cost (per kg) by Increasing Cargo Volume Situation/Needs Each state in the US has own maximum weight limit. Also, the total weight and the weight on each axle are regulated by each state. Because of these, trucking companies have their own policies for the maximum weight limits and there was no one common weight limit. As a result, normally, shipments within legal weight limits are loaded without any special equipment or permits. The transportation costs needed to be reduced by increasing cargo volume in each container. Proposals Proposed using a trucker with ample experience in overweight cargo among our more than 50 trucking partners, and to provide legal delivery service by using appropriate equipment and by obtaining necessary permits from each state. Transportation Cost per Container from Japan Port to Consignee Door in the US A) (standard weight) NET Weight 19,000KG/40’ ：$3,000/40' B) (overweight) NET Weight 24,000KG/40’ ：$3,300/40' (An additional cost of $300 for handling an overweight shipment incurred.) Cost per KG A)NET Weight 19,000KG/40’：$0.158/KG B)NET Weight 24,000KG/40'：$0.138/KG It reduced the cost by about 13%! The terms and conditions, and the cost reduction will depend on factors like routes. Please feel free to contact us for our proposals to meet your unique business needs.
