Introduction of Tatebayashi Interchange Warehouse of Kanto Sales Office

 The Sakata Group started operations at the Tatebayashi Interchange Warehouse of Kanto Sales Office on February 13, 2023, as part of the 110th anniversary commemorative project.
 We introduce the 110 years of our group’s history, our state-of-the-art Tatebayashi Interchange Warehouse of Kanto Sales Office, and “Raku-raku soko” –The new logistics collaboration- (video).

 As part of the commemorative project for the 110th anniversary of the founding of our company and group, which is scheduled to be celebrated in April 2024, construction of the new Tatebayashi Interchange Warehouse of Kanto Sales Office was completed at the end of January 2023, and we started operations on February 13, 2023.
 Located approximately 7 km (14 minutes by car) from the Tatebayashi Interchange on the Tohoku Expressway and approximately 70 km (60 minutes by car) from Tokyo, it is situated in the Kanto metropolitan area and the Tatebayashi metropolitan area, making it an excellent location for providing stable distribution services.

 The warehouse is equipped with an air-conditioned distribution processing area – which can also be used as a manufacturing site in accordance with the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law – and shipping boxes that have been picked, inspected, and packed in pieces at the distribution processing area on each floor are automatically unloaded.
 By installing material handling equipment for sorting by shipping company, we aim to create a distribution center that is worker-friendly for everyone who gathers there, including customers, related parties, and our company’s employees.
