If we define Asia, such as Thailand, where manufacturing industries are concentrated, as a "region for manufacturing goods," Europe and the United States, where markets are mature, are "regions for consuming goods." In a global era, it is our company-wide mission at Kintetsu Express to deliver these manufactured goods safely, quickly, and inexpensively to consumption regions. With a global view of the market several years ahead, we have begun to offer the “Bangkok Gateway Service” as a transportation solution. From Asia to Europe and the Americas, and beyond. We aim to be a reliable partner for Japanese companies.

LAX Gateway Service :Transportation from Thailand to each city of the US and Mexico, using Los Angeles as a base!

When considering the European and American markets, the top candidate for the North American base is Los Angeles Airport on the West Coast of the United States. The number of flights from all over the world is by far the highest, making it a highly competitive transportation hub. The services we are working on are from there onward, for example, development of third-country transport routes to Mexico. Although, unlike the West Coast, transportation in the Central American region is extremely few, this is a region where there is a certain need, as many automobile-related companies have entered them due to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

It is an important mission to secure transportation routes not only to Mexico but also to major industrial cities such as Atlanta and Dallas in the United States. The number of flights to these places is few and available cargo space is limited. Therefore, we chose land transportation by truck. After receiving shipments from all over the world at Los Angeles Airport, we transfer them to trucks and head for the Mexican border and industrial cities in the United States.

KWE's international transportation service that realized low cost and short lead time

In competitive international transport, low cost and short lead times are required. In order to realize this, the overall handling volume must be increased. For that, we need to improve convenience and increase the number of customers. As the usage increases, the unit price (cost) decreases and the service becomes stable. By pursuing efficiency, regular operation of trucks became possible.

AMS Gateway Service ：Transportation from Thailand to each city of Europe, using Amsterdam as a base!

On the other hand, we have set Amsterdam Airport, the Netherlands as a base of the European market. With the European trade port Europort, the country has a function as a central distribution hub for Western Europe. From here, auto parts and consumer goods are delivered to European countries by trucks. The European market with over 500 million people is a solid market with stable consumption giving steady forecasts for the future. KWE transports from Amsterdam to other major European cities.

▲The strength of KWE: From Thailand, transporting a wide range of cargoes to Europe and the United States

The Bangkok Gateway Service is not just for sending goods from Thailand to the European and American markets. Southeast Asia such as Vietnam and Indonesia, East Asia such as China, and South Asia such as India are also in that range. The shift from the Chinese market to Southeast Asia, triggered by the U.S.-China trade war, has recently become noticeable. KWE responds to the changes and provides customers with services looking ahead.
