"From Ultra-Large Fusion Equipment to More: ShinjoLogitech, a Leader in Special Logistics"

Proven Precision Special Logistics through the ITER Project

Consulting Expertise: Cutting Logistics Costs by Modifying Design Drawings

Expanding R&D Investment with a Goal of 100 Billion Won in Revenue within Three Years

"We take great pride in being the best in South Korea when it comes to transporting ultra-heavy cargo."

Kwon Sunok, CEO of Sinzo Logitech, expressed this with confidence during a press conference hosted by the Mainbiz Association (Korea Association of Innovative Small and Medium Enterprises) at the company's headquarters in Haeundae-gu, Busan, on April 24. Sinzo Logitech is an international freight forwarding company specializing in multimodal transport. A freight forwarder is a logistics expert who manages the entire international shipping process, including sea and air transport, on behalf of the shipper, optimizing both costs and time.

CEO Kwon compared the role of a freight forwarder to that of an "orchestra conductor," emphasizing the importance of designing optimal transport methods and coordinating decision-making between shippers and technicians. Since its founding in 1998, Sinzo Logitech has built expertise over the past 27 years with its "one-stop integrated logistics solution." Through project memberships in 130 countries and 360 projects worldwide, the company has established a competitive edge in special logistics, not only handling general container transport but also project, plant, and ultra-heavy cargo shipments that exceed standard container specifications.

Proven Precision Special Logistics Capabilities through ITER

The ongoing International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) construction project in France is a prime example of Sinzo Logitech's precision special logistics capabilities. ITER is a massive international collaborative project, with participation from seven countries including Korea, the United States, and the European Union (EU), aimed at verifying the commercial viability of fusion energy.

In 2013, Sinzo Logitech was selected as the exclusive carrier for the project, beating out major domestic logistics companies. Since then, the company has safely delivered ultra-precise nuclear fusion equipment—up to 600 tons per single component, with a tolerance of just 0.001 mm—to the site in France. CEO Kwon stated, "A single accident could delay the project by 10 years," adding, "We handled logistics based on engineering data to meet scientists' demands for timely and safe delivery." For these achievements, the company received a letter of appreciation from a French government agency in 2025.

Logistics consulting is another strength that Sinzo Logitech highlights. In 2010, when construction machinery specialist Jeonjin Heavy Industry faced high logistics costs for exporting rock drill equipment to South America, CEO Kwon proposed modifying the equipment drawings. This allowed the company to reduce shipping costs from $15,000 to $4,000 per unit. In another case, Sinzo Logitech helped steel company YK Steel save about 800 million won in customs duties during the import of equipment worth 25 billion won.

Sinzo Logitech has established a door-to-door logistics system that covers inland transportation and customs clearance worldwide, based on global shipping and forwarding networks such as OPCA, THLG, and CLC. Recently, the company strengthened its market position by securing a contract to transport ultra-large equipment weighing 478 metric tons for a major domestic construction company. Sinzo Logitech aims to achieve annual sales of 100 billion won within the next three years.

Logistics Goes Digital...Preparing for a 'Second Leap' through R&D

Sinzo Logitech is preparing for a second leap as a global special logistics company through digital research and development (R&D) investment. In particular, the company is focusing on digitizing its accumulated logistics know-how. A prime example is the "real-time cargo location sharing system." Through a self-developed tracking system, Sinzo Logitech provides shippers with vessel locations and updates on transport schedules, reducing uncertainty and increasing work efficiency.

The company is also developing a container loading optimization program called "1BOX.Click." CEO Kwon has implemented his accumulated container stuffing (CLP) know-how in the field into an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. The core idea is to automate the previously manual CLP design process, thereby saving both time and costs. The company plans to expand this into a smart logistics platform in the future by enabling real-time recalculation on site tablets and integrating augmented reality (AR) features.

In addition, Sinzo Logitech is in the final stages of developing a "dehumidification container" to address the problem of container corrosion during sea transport. The company plans to begin proof testing at the end of May and break ground on a production plant in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do in the second half of the year.
