山九株式会社と出資を含めた業務提携に合意 ~日本の中小企業のアフリカへの輸出業務をサポート!~

STANDAGE Inc. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Akinori Adachi; hereinafter referred to as STANDAGE) and Sankyu Inc. (Head office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kimihiro Nakamura; hereinafter referred to as Sankyu) are pleased to announce that they have agreed to enter into a business partnership, including investment, in the SBY Africa service, which jointly supports exports to Africa by Japanese small and medium-sized enterprises.

As the first step in its Africa services, SBY will begin providing safe and fast delivery services to Nigeria, Africa's largest economic power, from April 1st.
Currently, there is an issue with products being lost when shipping to Africa.
In addition to Sankyu's logistics network and tracking information, STANDAGE's Nigerian subsidiary (STANDAGE Nigeria) provides local delivery support to ensure reliable delivery of products.

In addition to expanding this service to African countries, we also plan to expand our business into new comprehensive trade services that combine logistics and payments by utilizing "Shake Hands Contract" (SHC), an escrow platform for B2B trade based on blockchain technology provided by STANDAGE.

■About SBY Service
This is a B2B international small parcel delivery service provided by Sankyu. We carry out formal customs clearance (commercial customs clearance) and provide door-to-door service at a package price, making shipping costs clear.
We offer two transportation modes, air and ocean, and handle reservations through a single point of contact to maximize ease of use and convenience for our customers.
Furthermore, within the scope of our service, we can also accommodate "port despatch" (C&F) to meet your trade conditions.
For details, please check the SBY official website.
