Philosophy / Commitment / Code of Conduct
As a pioneer of public tank terminals in Japan, Central Tank Terminal Co.,Ltd. was founded in Kobe in 1966.
With 12 locations nationwide, we play a key upstream role in Japan’s industrial supply chain, supporting the logistics of liquid chemicals—including hazardous materials—24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
We were the first company in the tank terminal industry to obtain ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, and in 2022 we obtained ISO 45001, the international standard for occupational health and safety. Guided by the three pillars of safety, quality and environmental protection, we continue to develop logistics systems that respond to the evolving needs of our customers and society.
