PULLACH, Germany, Mar. 1 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Through the acquisition, IFCO Japan will become the leading provider of
Reusable Packaging Containers (RPCs) for fresh grocery products in Japan
further promoting sustainability and its business model based on the principle
of circular economy. At the same time, IFCO Japan and Sanko Group have entered
into a long-term strategic cooperation for the Japanese market.
IFCO, the world’s leading provider of Reusable Packaging Containers (RPCs) for
fresh grocery products, today announced the acquisition completion of the RPC
pooling services business of Sanko Lease, via its wholly-owned subsidiary IFCO
Japan. The acquired business will be transferred to IFCO Japan and succeeded by
IFCO Oricon Co., Ltd, which will start operations effective March 1, 2022.
Through the acquisition of the business, IFCO Japan will significantly increase
its pooling asset base and service center network and will become the largest
RPC pooling provider in the fresh grocery supply chain in the Japanese market.
Customers will benefit from the combined global and local experience and
resources of IFCO and Sanko Lease. In addition to offering nationwide coverage,
more service centers and a broader product and service portfolio, the increased
business scale will allow IFCO Oricon to develop and implement solutions to
reduce lead-times, improve RPC availability as well as streamline ordering and
invoicing systems.

transaction and the long-term partnership with Sanko Group. In addition, we are
