Japan Post to acquire 19.9% of LOGISTEED
On 6th October, Japan Post Holdings Co., Ltd. announced that its subsidiary, Japan Post Co., Ltd., has decided to acquire 19.9% of the shares of LOGISTEED Holdings, Ltd.
The alliance aims to combine the extensive domestic network and operational expertise of the Japan Post Group with LOGISTEED’s advanced digital logistics capabilities and global 3PL operations, building a comprehensive logistics platform spanning last-mile delivery, domestic, and international logistics.
LOGISTEED, which envisions becoming a global leading 3PL company by 2030, seeks to strengthen its competitiveness through collaborative innovation with strategic partners. By leveraging its strengths in operational excellence, logistics digital transformation (DX), and overseas management expertise, LOGISTEED plans to enhance its ability to serve customers worldwide.
This partnership brings together the logistics resources and know-how of Japan Post’s group companies—including JP Logistics Co., Ltd., Tonami Holdings Co., Ltd., and Toll Holdings Pty Limited—with those of LOGISTEED. The companies aim to build a seamless logistics foundation that improves efficiency, service quality, and customer value, contributing to greater convenience across markets.
In addition, both parties expect mutual business synergies through complementary customer bases, shared use of logistics assets and vehicles, and the exchange of human resources and technical expertise across domestic and international operations.
The alliance aligns with Japan Post Holdings’ Medium-Term Management Plan “JP Vision 2025+”, announced in May 2024, which focuses on creating a “co-creation platform” to support local communities through collaboration with diverse external partners. The initiative follows Japan Post’s recent acquisition of Tonami Holdings Co., Ltd. in June 2025, part of its broader strategy to expand and modernize its logistics capabilities.
Shinya Koike, President and CEO of Japan Post, stated as follows: “LOGISTEED is the NO.1 3PL player in APAC with a global network, a diverse and large customer base, and high operational execution capabilities. Through this Capital and Business Alliance, the Company aims not only to expand the international logistics business but also to further grow the domestic businesstobusiness logistics sector, which the Company has positioned as a key area for strengthening, and consequently aims to become a comprehensive logistics company capable of seamlessly managing lastmile delivery, domestic distribution, domestic businesstobusiness logistics, and international logistics. I believe this Capital and Business Alliance will be beneficial not only to our company but also to customers, the industry, and society.”
Yasuo Nakatani, Chairman, President, and CEO of LOGISTEED, Ltd., commented as follows: “Japan Post Holdings group possesses strong capabilities in domestic transportation and delivery. By combining its expertise in this field with our operational excellence in 3PL and logistics DX, we are confident in our ability to establish a more robust and sustainable logistics foundation that extends beyond simply addressing the “Logistics 2024 Problem”.
Moreover, by reinforcing our overseas operations in collaboration with Toll Holdings Pty Limited, Japan Post Holdings’ international logistics subsidiary, both companies will be positioned to expand their overseas 3PL and forwarding businesses and compete more effectively in the global market.”
This transaction is expected to be completed promptly after obtaining the approvals necessary under competition law as well as other relevant laws and regulations. The specific roles and details of collaboration among all parties involved will be determined through future discussions between the two companies
