- YOKOREI's Refrigerated Warehousing
YOKOREI's refrigerated warehouses, including overseas locations, boast storage capacity of one million tons placing us within the industry's top class. Our strengths include advanced storage systems and refrigeration technology such as cooling methods that utilize natural refrigerants.
No.2 in the Industry
Three Types of Refrigerated Warehouse to Meet a Wide Range of Diverse Food Storage and Logistics Needs
Dockside
We have facilities at major trading ports throughout Japan that can accommodate large-sized tankers, providing high quality storage and speedy customs clearance services centered on imports of food products and ingredients.
Logistics Centers
Our logistics centers located near major highway interchanges store products for convenience stores, restaurant chains, and other businesses that require supplies to arrive in a timely manner.
Production Areas
Ours storage facilities at major fishing ports and agricultural areas throughout Japan provide storage in proper temperature ranges for freshly caught marine products and harvested agricultural produce.
Yokorei's "Kanto Area 60 Rim Concept"
The "Kanto Area 60 Rim Concept" is to establish bases along the Ken-O Expressway within a 60 km radius of the city center and build a logistics network for the purpose of "stable supply of food'' in the metropolitan area.
- The total capacity of refrigerated warehouses in the Ken-O Expressway area is about 170,000 tons, and we have completed a wide-area distribution network that covers from the Tokyo metropolitan area to northern Kanto.
Investing in Human Resources Training
Since our founding, YOKOREI has viewed our people as the source of our competitiveness and have actively invested in this area.
One of the major differences between YOKOREI's refrigerated warehousing business and our competitors is that core operations, such as loading cargo into the warehouses, are carried out by YOKOREI employees.
YOKOREI staff take responsibility for protecting customers' goods, using skills that have been passed down from employee to employee over the years to stow them quickly and carefully into limited spaces without causing damage.
Furthermore, in 2020 we are opening training centers in Yokohama. These will enable us to educate employees in maintaining YOKOREI Quality, including paying thorough attention to 5S, and train them to become more proficient in skills such as operating fork-lift trucks and machinery.

Promoting Labor Savings and Automation
Using IT technology to pursue people-friendly operations
We are realizing labor savings and automation through initiatives such as electric movable racks, a cargo navigation system, and a truck reservation system.
Our aim is to reduce employee workloads while improving efficiency in order to build a highly productive and profitable business.
