Transfreight is a fully integrated Logistics Engineering and Logistics Systems Design provider backed by the strength of two world leaders: Mitsui & Co. Ltd. and TNT Logistics. This background, coupled with experience, has enabled Transfreight to provide superior Supply Chain Management services including route management, materials handling, and the implementation of lean principles.
