Maruha Nichiro ( (JP:1333) ) has provided an announcement.
Umios Corporation has agreed to transfer 51% of its wholly owned Umios Logistics Corporation to SENKO Group Holdings, shifting the unit from a consolidated subsidiary to an equity-method affiliate while retaining a 49% stake. The move builds on a 2025 logistics-focused business alliance and is aimed at securing a long-term, sustainable logistics platform for the wider Umios Group.
Management said the decision reflects mounting pressures in the logistics industry, including labor shortages and higher energy costs, and a desire to harness SENKO’s expertise in cold chain operations for high-value processed products. Umios Logistics will remain the core logistics provider to the group, with both companies expecting the partnership to enhance service quality and operational resilience, while reshaping Umios’s financial consolidation perimeter for its logistics business.
