"I’m confident we can take full responsibility for logistics transport that others can’t do — and that everyone will be satisfied with," Kwon Soon-wook said.

Kwon made the remarks April 24 at Shinjo Logitec’s headquarters in Busan. Founded in 1998, the company has built 27 years of expertise in specialized cargo logistics and is combining ultra-heavy transport capability with digital technology to expand in global markets.

Its track record includes work on the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, or ITER. After being selected in 2015 as an official logistics provider for the ITER construction project, Shinjo Logitec transported ultra-precision fusion equipment — with a tolerance of 0.001 millimeter and weighing up to 600 tons — to the site in France, the company said. It said a government agency awarded it a letter of appreciation last year in recognition of that work.

More recently, Shinjo Logitec said it successfully transported 478 metric tons of oversized equipment for a major South Korean company. It reported revenue of 44.2 billion won as of 2025 and said it has set a revenue target of 70 billion won for this year.

Kwon said the company’s next push centers on digital transformation and advanced technology. He pointed to “1BOX.Click,” a container loading optimization program that systematizes Shinjo Logitec’s container loading plan, or CLP, know-how using AI algorithms.

The program automatically calculates site constraints and route-by-route freight rate ratios to produce an optimal loading plan, the company said. It said it plans to expand the tool into a smart logistics platform with real-time recalculation on tablets and links to augmented reality.

Shinjo Logitec said the system can cut logistics costs by at least 5 million won per shipment.

A company official said the approach goes beyond filling space, adjusting placement by precisely calculating a cargo’s center of gravity. The official said that know-how helps maximize transport safety.

The company said it will begin a demonstration test of a dehumidifying container by the end of May to address corrosion issues. It also said it plans to break ground on a specialized logistics plant in Gwangyang in the second half of 2026.

Kwon said Shinjo Logitec’s core strength is a “one-stop turnkey solution” that covers everything from route-optimization simulations to unloading and final placement. He said the company will continue investing in research and development and upgrading digital technology to become an innovation-driven leader in global logistics.
