In 1996, Lotte Logistics, the Group's first logistics
company was founded.
In the wake of new distribution businesses with
the emergence of convenience stores, marts,
and supermarkets, Lotte Logistics introduced its
own logistics service, with 7-Eleven as its first
customer.
Establishment of Lotte Logistics
It not only expanded the logistics service
that started with convenience stores
to include Lotteria, marts, and
supermarkets, but also provided logistics
services within all of the distribution areas,
including the logistics of Lotte.com,
Korea's first e-commerce company,
to become a leading logistics company
in Korea.

Beyond the distribution sector, the company
expanded its service scope to the entire
industry, including the Group’s food,
chemicals
and manufacturing, while also entering the 3PL
market—a non-group client—to embrace
a full-fledged growth period. The company
invested heavily in infrastructure in order to
strengthen its logistics capabilities,
established overseas subsidiaries,
and created a bridgehead to expand
its global businesses.

Hyundai Logistics, Korea's leading courier
company, we have provided the impetus to lay
foundations for becoming a comprehensive
logistics company. With the new mission of
Lotte Global Logistics, we launched a fresh
brand called Lotte Courier. We have come to
own business channels in all areas of
distribution from the initial site of production
to the final last mile of delivery.
