CJ Olive Young Establishes First U.S. Logistics Hub, Accelerates North American K-Beauty Expansion

First Local Logistics Center Established in Bloomington, California: "Olive Young West Center"

Comprehensive Support for Customs, Inventory, and Delivery to Help Brands Enter North America

Managing Logistics for Sephora's "K-Beauty Zone" and Building a Multi-Hub System for the Future

CJ Olive Young is accelerating its push into the North American K-beauty market by establishing a local logistics hub ahead of the opening of its offline store in the United States.

On March 5, Olive Young announced that it has established its first local logistics center in Bloomington, California, called the "Olive Young West Center." Covering an area of approximately 3,600 square meters (about 1,100 pyeong), this center will serve as a logistics hub for K-beauty products distributed across North America through Olive Young.

Based on this new logistics infrastructure, Olive Young plans to enhance support for brands entering its U.S. stores. The company aims to reduce the burden on brand partners by directly and indirectly supporting all aspects of local logistics, including customs clearance, inventory management, and delivery. For brands that lack their own delivery infrastructure, Olive Young will also provide logistics support for non-product items, such as marketing fixtures and display materials.

In addition, Olive Young will operate an end-to-end (E2E) service that manages the entire logistics process for brands featured in the "K-Beauty Zone" at Sephora stores in North America. Previously, Olive Young collaborated with Sephora to curate K-beauty products that will be introduced through Sephora's online and offline channels in August.

Going forward, Olive Young plans to gradually expand the capacity of the West Center in line with increasing cargo volume. The company also intends to complete a multi-hub logistics system covering all of North America by establishing additional logistics hubs in the eastern United States to respond to changing local demand.

An Olive Young representative stated, "It is significant that we have established a key logistics network capable of responding stably to K-beauty demand ahead of the opening of our local store. Based on this, we will strengthen our retail competitiveness locally and actively support promising K-beauty brands' entry into the North American market."
