Name origin of service and brand
HNZ means “ship number zero,” which does not exist, and the number in front of the one expresses the image of the foundation of everything and the creation of new value that does not exist here and now. This symbolizes the creation of new value based on the technological capabilities cultivated by our predecessors and expresses our desire for the brand to embody and support the NYK Group’s vision “Beyond being a comprehensive logistics company, we will co-create the value needed for the future by deepening our core businesses and growing new businesses.”.
