It is a highly reputable corporate group focused principally on air and ocean freight forwarding in Europe, Asia, and North America, also offering rail and truck transport and contract logistics services. The acquisition of cargo-partner will complement the Nippon Express (hereinafter "NX") Group's logistics infrastructure in Central and Eastern Europe, expected to see significant future growth as a production base within the European region, and will enable the NX Group to further expand its global network and enhance the services it provides in the European region. The resultant expansion in the volume of air and ocean freight handled will also strengthen the Group's competitiveness in the global market, enable it to respond to the diverse needs of its global customers, enhance its ability to meet logistics demand between Asia and Europe and elsewhere, and bolster its global account structure. Since the NX Group and cargo-partner have differing customer bases and differing strengths in specific countries and regions, they will seek to create synergies in their logistics operations through mutual complementation, thereby accelerating the expansion and development of their global businesses. Going forward, the NX Group and cargo-partner will maximize the synergies they generate as a unified entity to help create value for the NX Group's customers and stakeholders.
