Organizational changes (effective April 1, 2026)
Purpose
In addition to maximizing business revenue through means such as strengthening core businesses and making aggressive investments in growth businesses, Kamigumi recognizes that reinforcing management foundations that support growth potential and return on capital is essential to achieving the goals of the Medium-Term Management Plan 2030.
As part of the above efforts to reinforce management foundations, Kamigumi will rename certain Business Headquarters to Strategy Headquarters. This initiative is intended to promote a transition to an organizational structure that will serve as the basis for portfolio management to enable business-centered strategy formulation and revenue management, while maintaining the strengths built up under the current organizational framework centered on branches. In addition, given the increasing importance of
Kamigumi's 3PL business, which is driven by growing domestic demand, Kamigumi will establish a new organization dedicated to this business and thereby strive to further improve service levels and increase revenue.
Additionally, the transfer of the IR, SR Sect. reflects a review of the responsibilities of its section head.
Specifics of organizational changes, organizational structure, etc.
The 3PL Strategy Hq. will be established within the Sales organization.
The Feed & Grain Business Hq. will be renamed the Feed, Grain & Bulk Cargo Strategy Hq, the Fruits & Vegetables Business Hq. will be renamed the Fruits & Vegetables Strategy Hq, and the Rice Business Hq. will be renamed the Rice Strategy Hq.
The IR, SR Sect. will be transferred from the Financial Hq. to the Corporate Management Hq.
