Maruzen Showa Unyu plans to extend its existing takeover defense policy, seeking shareholder approval at its June 26, 2026 annual meeting to keep the framework in place through the 2029 shareholders’ meeting. The plan, designed to address large-scale share purchases, has been updated in line with legal changes and court precedents and aims to secure time and information for investors while allowing the board to challenge bids seen as undervaluing the group or threatening stakeholder relationships.

Backed by its Ninth Medium-term Management Plan, Maruzen Showa Unyu emphasizes its strengths in tailored 3PL services, skilled logistics personnel and robust CSR governance as it seeks to solidify its positioning as a future-focused logistics partner for customers.
