Brussels Airport and the Port of Antwerp are the two most important logistics hubs in Belgium. The city of Liege, in east Belgium, and Ostend, a coastal city in the west, are increasingly becoming more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nippon Express Belgium established an office in Liege this year. It is the first Japanese forwarder to set up operations in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClose to the Netherlands and German borders, Liege has become a very important economic region,\u201d said Tsuyoshi Ogihara, president of Nippon Express Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to ensure we are close to our major customers in the chemical, automotive and pharmaceutical industries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Kamm, general manager of the Business Development Division, said: \u201cBelgium is a highly important pharmaceutical player in Europe and we have made significant investments on a global corporate level in order to develop solutions for our pharmaceutical customers. Today we are able to deliver solutions across multiple geographic and business segments and we are ready to plug in pharma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We constantly listen to the needs of our customers to provide them with bespoke transport solutions and we will continue to leverage our strengths to provide the best service.<\/p>Tsuyoshi Ogihara<\/strong>, Nippon Express Belgium President<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nippon Express Belgium has continued to grow its non-Japanese client base. Today over 60% of the company\u2019s turnover comes from non-Japanese customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have strong relations with our global customers, many of whom we have worked with for over 20 years,\u201d Ogihara said. \u201cThis makes us quite unique amongst Nippon Express subsidiaries in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to strengthen the import and export gateway functions for both Liege and Ostend, the company recently launched chartering services between Liege and Narita Airport for air cargo import and export operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe coronavirus pandemic resulted in a shortage of air cargo availability and our new service allows us to provide space to customers,\u201d Ogihara said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to rising demand for trans-Atlantic air cargo transport, in May Nippon Express Belgium established a round-trip charter service between Ostend-Bruges International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe constantly listen to the needs of our customers to provide them with bespoke transport solutions and we will continue to leverage our strengths to provide the best service,\u201d Ogihara said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
