MESSAGE

Cargo is moved by people.
That’s why we strive to be
a company where people grow.

Since our founding in 1958, Setouchi Rikuun has pursued its motto of “Safety, Reliability, and Speed” in all of its logistics operations. We have expanded our network nationwide, delivering our customers’ precious cargo with sincerity and care.

Logistics is more than just moving goods. We carry an important mission to support our customers’ businesses and contribute to the development of local communities. To fulfill that mission, we place people at the center of everything we do: creating an environment where every employee can work with pride, raising safety awareness, and investing in the development of the next generation of talent.

In 2024, we became the first company in our industry in Kagawa Prefecture to issue a Work-Style Reform Promotion Declaration and a Kagawa Women’s Career Support Declaration. We remain committed to adapting to the changing times and continuing to be a company where our employees and their families can find happiness.
