Nissin's presidency changed to Mine Shigeki (峯 茂樹), prompting the early launch of a new medium-term management plan after 18 years without a change at the top. The company is pursuing measures to strengthen its overall capabilities, including organizational changes, expansion of overseas locations and reinforcement of its pharmaceuticals logistics business.
In April, Mine Shigeki (峯 茂樹) became president of Nissin. He is the first president from outside the founding family, and the company launched its new medium-term management plan ahead of schedule at the same time as his appointment. Nissin has reorganized its operations to accelerate cross-business decision-making, including by establishing a strategy department spanning multiple divisions. It has also announced investments including the recruitment of external talent and the use of Bain Capital.
Under the new medium-term plan, Nissin will strengthen its overall capabilities, including through the use of its overseas locations. Its initiatives include expanding existing businesses into new areas, using Panasonic's refrigerated boxes and expanding digital forwarding services, with investment and organizational reform to be pursued simultaneously.
The priority areas will center on automotive-related businesses, food and chemicals, while connecting its business lines across shipping, warehousing and land transportation. Nissin plans to open a chemicals base in Kobe and a mobility and semiconductor-related base in Kumamoto in September. It is also strengthening its pharmaceuticals business and has established Logistics LABO, a department responsible for developing logistics services.
The president emphasized the continuation of the company's founding spirit under the theme of “Nissin is about its people.” The company aims to pass its role on to the next generation while pursuing daily innovation and self-reform.
