For more than 130 years, Toll Group has been solving complex shipping, transport and supply chain challenges for customers, earning it a reputation as a global leader in customized solutions in the logistics industry.
“We move the businesses that move the world,” said Alan Beacham, managing director of Toll Group, encapsulating the company’s mission to support its customers in delivering seamless service to their own.
Reflecting on founder Albert Toll’s entrepreneurial foresight by renting a horse and cart overnight to transport goods and coal, this modest work and timely approach, as well as refined work ethics, helped Toll expand his business, earn capital and invest. “That innovative foresight laid the foundation for our customer-first approach,” Beacham recalled. “Toll’s founding values of innovation, hard work and customer commitment continue to define the company today.”
Toll’s evolution includes key milestones such as its 2000 expansion into Asia, starting with China and Thailand, and its 2015 acquisition by Japan Post, which reaffirmed its already established network in the Asia- Pacific. Today, Toll operates across 500 sites in 29 countries, with access to 150 more, through its vast forwarding network.
“We aim to build a pan-Asia network that connects the world, offering tailored solutions to sectors like retail, health care and technology,” Beacham said. In 2025, Toll celebrates 25 years of growth in Asia, underscoring its continued expansion and strengthened regional ties.

Toll’s global approach is driven by its ability to leverage the strengths and capabilities it possesses across six industry verticals: retail, resources and industrial, government and defense, health care, technology, and food and wine. “Focusing on these industries allows us to deliver tailored, more personalized and efficient solutions,” Beacham said.
“What differentiates us is our people. They are committed to going the extra mile for customers, ensuring not just seamless service, but also real solutions to complex supply chain problems,” he emphasized. “We often say we’re ‘big enough to matter but small enough to care.’”
Sustainability is a priority for Toll, which has committed $67 million to heavy electric vehicles in Australia and $200 million to fleet upgrades, aligning with Japan Post’s 2050 carbon neutrality targets. The company also focuses on reducing waste and investing in facility redesign to power its sites with renewable electricity.
Additionally, the $20 million Innovation Center in Singapore will continue to drive modern solutions and products for the six core verticals. “Resilience, responsiveness and responsibility are the cornerstones of modern supply chains,” Beacham said.
As part of Japan Post’s global network, Toll is poised to continue its journey as a supply chain leader, ensuring businesses worldwide can make their next big move.
