Silo Logistics Department
We support Hokkaido’s stockbreeding industry with the highest class grain silos and facilities in northern Japan.
Supporting the stockbreeding industry in Hokkaido
Hokkaido consumes up to 3.6 million tons of feed ingredients per year, with corn, barley, oats, soybean meal, grass, etc. imported from countries like the United States, Canada, and Australia. Approximately one-third of the feed ingredients are supplied to feed mills throughout Hokkaido via our facilities and play an important role in supporting the livestock industry of Hokkaido.
Achieving stable supply with an advanced system and the largest-scale facility in Hokkaido
Most of the feed ingredients, imported by large vessels from all over the world, are handled in cargo handling facilities with a capacity of up to 1800 tons/h, then stored in grain silos with a capacity of 190,150 tons, and warehouses with a capacity of 33,583 m². Warehouse entry/dispatch management is carried out in a command room with advanced IT-enhanced functions. Our staff utilizes their abundant expertise and experience to provide safe and efficient services.
Meeting customer needs with various distribution processing functions
The needs for feed ingredients distribution processing have been diversifying. To meet these needs, we have grinding and pelletizing facilities, automatic bagging facilities, and bonded warehouse. With our experienced staff operating, we can provide customers with one-stop, high-quality logistics services.
Thorough safety management of feed ingredients
For businesses involved in the distribution of feed ingredients, the first priority is “to transport products pest-free.” Feed ingredients that are safely stored and managed at our silo facilities in compliance with the Feed Safety Law are directly supplied to its adjacent feed manufacturing plant by conveyors. By installing large-scale vehicle disinfection equipment that sterilizes the entire truck at both the entrance and the exit, we strive for thorough safety management.
