Each year, September marks the anniversary of the acquisition of the MD Logistics and MD Express companies by Nippon Express USA. Last week, our leadership team welcomed Mr. Kazuoki Oguro, President of Nippon Express USA to our headquarters in Indianapolis to celebrate five years as a part of NX Group Global network.
“This September marks five years since MD Logistics joined the NX Group. Since then, MD Logistics has steadily grown its business. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for everyone’s daily hard work and dedication, which has made this possible. To achieve our goals, it is important that we strengthen the collaboration between MD Logistics and the rest of the NX Americas region and the NX Group overall. By integrating our forwarding, logistics, and trucking businesses, we can provide our customers with seamless end-to-end services.
– Mr. Kazuoki Oguro, President, Nippon Express USA
As we celebrate this significant milestone of our fifth anniversary together, let us further deepen the cooperation among the NX Group companies and work together to drive the entire organization forward.”
Looking back on the past five years and the beginning of our joint journey, the closing ceremony, we revisit the early thoughts of our leadership team, specifically co-founder, Mark Sell. You can review the entire announcement, here.
“When we looked at the market to seek a potential buyer, it was paramount to us that we selected a partner who had a thought out growth strategy for MDL within the industry verticals that we service, and who would value our people, culture and customers. Nippon was impressed with the MDL brand and expertise and showcased their strategy for investment and growth within the US domestic warehousing network, servicing the largest life sciences and consumer goods markets in the world.”

“Reflecting back after five years into this partnership Nippon Express has delivered on every promise that was made during the acquisition process. Number one, in the past few years alone, we have had countless promotions of internal candidates into many key leadership roles. Number two, we have been undergoing perpetual expansion over the past five years to include four cooler expansions. Four! Investments have surpassed $25M! And third, we have enjoyed double digit revenue growth every year post acquisition to include back-to-back years of over 20%. Further, over the past year and a half alone our largest three legacy pharmaceutical clients have signed long-term extensions that lock them in for the remainder of this decade and in some cases well into the next.
– John Sell, President, MD Logistics
I know for certain that Mark is very proud and I can’t wait to see what awaits us in the future. “
