Alps Logistics Co., Ltd.
Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. is a Japanese kabushiki kaisha registered with Japan’s National Tax Agency Corporate Number Publication Site under corporate number 1010001244552, with a registered address of 1756 Nippa-cho, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama-shi, Kanagawa 223-0057, Japan, and a registry status of active. This corporate registration traces to a company incorporated on 30 April 2024 as LDEC, Ltd., a special-purpose company wholly owned by LOGISTEED, Ltd.; LDEC, Ltd. changed its trade name to Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. on 1 July 2025 and relocated its registered office to Yokohama on 28 July 2025, after acquiring and absorbing the business of a separately incorporated, identically named Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. (corporate number 9020001019401), a company founded on 2 July 1964 that had traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ticker code 9055.
The pre-2024 Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. operated an electronic-component logistics business, handling the transportation, storage and forwarding of electronic components and selling related molding and packaging materials, together with a consumer logistics business providing home delivery and warehousing services mainly for consumer co-operatives. That business reported consolidated sales of 118,844 million yen and net income attributable to shareholders of 3,570 million yen for the fiscal year ended March 2024. In 2024, LDEC, Ltd. — a vehicle established by LOGISTEED, Ltd., the former Hitachi Transport System, Ltd. — conducted a tender offer for all outstanding shares of that Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. at 5,774 yen per share, a transaction reviewed and cleared by the Japan Fair Trade Commission. The offer closed successfully on 4 October 2024, and following a share consolidation and squeeze-out of remaining minority shareholders, the original Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. was delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market on 17 December 2024, retiring stock code 9055. As part of the same restructuring, Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. — the original company’s former largest shareholder, historically holding around 46 to 49 percent of its shares — sold its stake into a share buyback and reinvested for a 20 percent interest in LDEC, Ltd. itself, with LOGISTEED, Ltd. holding the remaining 80 percent.
The business now trading under the Alps Logistics name is therefore, as a matter of legal registration, the entity formerly known as LDEC, Ltd. It is privately held, is no longer subject to Tokyo Stock Exchange disclosure requirements, and the most recent publicly available operating figures for the electronic-component and consumer logistics businesses pre-date the 2024-2025 restructuring. The company’s own website continues to state an incorporation date of 2 July 1964, reflecting the founding of the predecessor operating business; government corporate-registry sources, however, show the current corporate-number registration for the legal entity now bearing the Alps Logistics name as established on 30 April 2024.

Shareholders of Alps Logistics Co., Ltd.
Based on the companies’ own 2024 tender-offer disclosures and the Japan Fair Trade Commission’s 2024 merger-clearance review of the transaction, Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. is privately held. Following the 2024 tender offer for, and squeeze-out of minority shareholders in, the former Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. (stock code 9055), its entire outstanding share capital was consolidated into LDEC, Ltd., the special-purpose company later renamed Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. on 1 July 2025. Under the Capital and Business Tie-Up Agreement dated 9 May 2024, the shares of LDEC, Ltd. itself are held 80 percent by LOGISTEED, Ltd. and 20 percent by Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. — the former Alps Logistics’ long-standing largest shareholder, which reinvested rather than fully exiting. This is the most recent verified ownership information located for this profile, dated to the transaction’s closing in the second half of 2024. Because the company is no longer listed, it is no longer subject to ongoing public shareholder-disclosure requirements, and no more recent ownership filing has been identified.
The on-file registry data reviewed for this profile lists five minority institutional shareholders, including US-registered mutual funds, each holding a small single-digit percentage, with a stated verification date in August 2026 — over a year and a half after the underlying company’s Tokyo Stock Exchange delisting and share-consolidation squeeze-out. This is inconsistent with the well-documented 2024 restructuring, in which all outside minority shareholders were cashed out through the squeeze-out and share buyback. That shareholder data therefore appears to be stale legacy data carried over from the pre-delisting company and should not be relied upon as a current shareholder list.
Data availability
Full for the immediate ownership structure resulting from the 2024-2025 restructuring (LOGISTEED, Ltd. 80 percent and Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. 20 percent of the entity that took over the Alps Logistics name). Not public for any period after the company’s delisting, since Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. is now privately held with no ongoing disclosure obligation.

Officers

Directors and officers of Alps Logistics Co., Ltd.
The company’s own corporate website (retrieved 2026) lists Hideaki Terasaki as President and Representative Director, together with senior vice presidents Toshiyuki Mushiake and Yukitake Kurita, several further vice presidents responsible for areas including corporate strategy, administration, consumer-products logistics and sales, a number of additional directors including Kazuhiro Nishikawa — who served as Representative Director of LDEC, Ltd., the 2024 tender-offer vehicle — one outside director, and a statutory auditor. Hideaki Terasaki already held the title of Representative Director and President as of 21 August 2024, per LDEC, Ltd.’s own tender-offer disclosure document, which also states that he had transferred to the company from Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. more than six years earlier. None of the sources reviewed for this profile disclose officer nationality; nationality is recorded here as not disclosed rather than inferred from any officer’s name, residence or Japan-based role.
Recent officer changes
- Hideaki Terasaki confirmed as Representative Director and President no later than 21 August 2024, per LDEC, Ltd.’s tender-offer filing.
- Board reconstitution following the 2024 change of control, under which Alps Alpine Co., Ltd. and LOGISTEED, Ltd. each gained contractual rights to nominate directors and executive officers under the 9 May 2024 Capital and Business Tie-Up Agreement.
Data availability
Partial and historical: the on-file officer registry snapshot for this profile names Masaru Usui as President, CEO and Representative Director and does not include Hideaki Terasaki, Kazuhiro Nishikawa or the other current directors shown on the company’s own website. Public filings show Hideaki Terasaki already holding the president and representative-director role by August 2024, so the on-file officer data appears to predate that change and the subsequent board reconstitution; it should not be treated as the current officer list. Current officer information in this block is drawn from the company’s own corporate website rather than a government filing, since Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. is now a private company with no ongoing officer-disclosure obligation.

Group Structure
Group structure of Alps Logistics Co., Ltd.
Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. is not an independent company. As a matter of legal continuity, the entity operating under this name today is the former LDEC, Ltd., a special-purpose company incorporated on 30 April 2024 by LOGISTEED, Ltd. specifically to acquire the shares of a then-separately incorporated, Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Alps Logistics Co., Ltd. (former stock code 9055; corporate number 9020001019401). Per the Capital and Business Tie-Up Agreement dated 9 May 2024, and consistent with the Japan Fair Trade Commission’s 2024 merger-clearance review of the transaction, following the October 2024 tender offer and subsequent squeeze-out of minority shareholders, the renamed entity’s own shares are held 80 percent by LOGISTEED, Ltd. and 20 percent by Alps Alpine Co., Ltd., which jointly control it. LOGISTEED, Ltd. is in turn wholly owned by LOGISTEED Holdings, Ltd., which is itself owned approximately 90 percent by HTSK Investment L.P., a fund managed by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (KKR), and approximately 10 percent by Hitachi, Ltd. — placing ultimate controlling influence with the KKR-led investor group, alongside a Hitachi, Ltd. minority stake. Alps Alpine Co., Ltd., the original Alps Logistics’ long-time largest shareholder and a major customer, retained a 20 percent economic and voting interest in the group and contractual rights to nominate three directors and up to three executive officers for at least three years from the transaction’s effective date.

Data availability
Full for the immediate and ultimate ownership structure, as confirmed by the 2024 transaction agreements and the Japan Fair Trade Commission’s merger review. The on-file registry data for this profile states that no parent, subsidiary or ownership linkage is currently available; that finding is out of date and should be corrected, since this 2024-2025 change of control and entity restructuring is publicly and officially documented.
