10 Years of CJ Logistics and iHerb Partnership... Annual Volume Increases Tenfold

Annual Volume Grows from 1.1 Million to 10.4 Million Boxes
Incheon and Saudi GDCs Drive Supply Chain Innovation in Asia-Pacific and Middle East

CJ Logistics and global health supplement platform iHerb have been driving innovation in the global e-commerce supply chain through a decade of collaboration.

On May 7 (local time), CJ Logistics announced on May 12 that it held the '10th Anniversary Ceremony of Global Distribution and Logistics Co-Growth' with iHerb.

The results of their partnership are clearly reflected in volume indicators. The annual volume handled by CJ Logistics for iHerb has grown nearly tenfold, from about 1.1 million boxes in the early years to 10.4 million boxes in 2025. The cumulative volume processed so far has reached around 60 million boxes, which, if lined up, would stretch about 30,000 km—equivalent to the circumference of the Earth.

Jonathan Song, CEO of CJ Logistics Global Business Division, attended the anniversary ceremony, exchanged plaques of appreciation with Emun Zabihi, CEO of iHerb, and discussed future cooperation plans. Emun Zabihi stated, "iHerb's goal is to provide high-quality products quickly and reliably, and our partnership with CJ Logistics is a key foundation supporting this competitiveness. We look forward to continuously innovating our supply chain and strengthening our competitiveness by combining the strengths of both companies."

iHerb is a leading wellness company, selling more than 50,000 products to 15 million customers in over 180 countries. In line with iHerb's strategy to expand in the Asia-Pacific market, CJ Logistics established Korea's first Global Distribution Center (GDC) in Incheon in 2018. This allowed orders placed in Japan, Singapore, and other countries to be shipped from Korea instead of the United States, dramatically reducing both time and costs.

Recently, the companies expanded their cooperation to the Middle East market. CJ Logistics began full-scale operations at the Saudi GDC, which was established last year and features robotic technology, beginning in February this year. Moving forward, both companies plan to actively collaborate on expanding their product categories to meet the needs of Middle Eastern consumers and enhancing logistics infrastructure in the region.

Jonathan Song, CEO of CJ Logistics Global Business Division, said, "Through our partnership with iHerb, we have not only expanded the number of countries and volume handled, but also maximized synergy by raising consumer satisfaction. Based on advanced logistics technology and operational expertise, we will further enhance our supply chain system and strengthen our position as a key partner in the global e-commerce market."
