The Yusen Logistics Group has announced a significant achievement in its global cold chain expansion, confirming that two of its key overseas group companies, TASCO Yusen Gold Cold Sdn. Bhd. (TYGC) in Malaysia and Yusen Logistics (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (YLVN) in Vietnam, have successfully obtained the international certification ISO 31512:2024.
This certification, which covers cold chain logistics services in the Business to Business (B2B) sector, specifically validates the high quality of their temperature-controlled food storage and transportation services. TYGC was the first company outside Japan to obtain the ISO 31512 certification in August 2025, quickly followed by YLVN in September 2025. This achievement enables Yusen Logistics to offer safer and more reliable food logistics services, meeting the growing consumer demand for food safety across the region.
Contributing to Global Standards
Yusen Logistics played an active role in the development of ISO 31512, which was issued in December 2024 as the world’s first international standard for cold chain logistics services. The company participated as a domestic deliberation committee member and strategic committee member, contributing to the formulation of requirements and negotiations with participating countries. This deep involvement underscores the company’s commitment to setting and adhering to world-class standards.
Strategic Expansion in Southeast Asia
The two certified subsidiaries are pivotal to the Group’s cold chain strategy in Southeast Asia. TYGC, a subsidiary of TASCO BERHAD, previously demonstrated its commitment to high-quality service by becoming the first logistics company to achieve the Japanese cold chain standard JSA-S1004:2020 back in 2022.
Similarly, YLVN has made strategic investments to anticipate the strong growth in demand for frozen and refrigerated foods in Vietnam. The company opened a dedicated cold storage warehouse for food in the suburbs of Ho Chi Minh City in January 2025, using this new facility to provide international-standard cold chain logistics services to both local and foreign investors in the food sector.
In congratulating the subsidiaries on the achievement, Mr. Tomoyuki Fukuhara, Senior Manager of the Transport and Logistics Department at ClassNK (Nippon Kaiji Kyokai), confirmed that both TYGC and YLVN fully met all requirements following rigorous documentation reviews, on-site inspections, and management system audits. Yusen Logistics stated it will continue to enhance quality across the group to build a global cold chain logistics service system that consistently delivers world-class standards.
