We had our 120-year anniversary on July 1st, 2019, and started a new journey with a slogan: Moving forward together into the future. We have expanded our business from our original warehouse business to land transportation, port operations, international freight forwarding, real estate management and ocean transportation since 1899.
As the family business of the Sumitomo family, Sumitomo Warehouse started their warehouse business in 1899. The headquarters was in Osaka and a branch was opened in Kobe. (The Sumitomo family crest is pictured on a roof tile used for a warehouse.)

This was made possible because goods move systematically on a global scale. And our global network is the foundation of this kind of global logistics movement. The transportation of goods with at least two different modes of transportation like vessels, airplanes, vehicles, and rail is called multimodal transport or combined transport. If goods are exported to another country, our work begins with moving a shipment to a port and executing export procedures, and continues by booking it for ocean or air transportation, loading and unloading, executing import procedures at the destination, and delivery to the final destination. We, Sumitomo Warehouse Group, can take care of all these phases of transportation from the beginning until the end.
A subsidiary in US was established. An overseas representative from Japan and local staff were assigned.
The products were produced by their own factory in Asia and were imported into the US by vessels. They used to be stored in their agent's warehouse. But with the establishment of a US subsidiary and for the purpose of business expansion, their storage needed to be directly managed.
Each state in the US has own maximum weight limit. Also, the total weight and the weight on each axle are regulated by each state. Because of these, trucking companies have their own policies for the maximum weight limits and there was no one common weight limit. As a result, normally, shipments within legal weight limits are loaded without any special equipment or permits.
