Overview
It was founded as Fukuyama Freight Transport Co., Ltd. (福山貨物運送) in 1948 in Fukuyama, Hiroshima when a shipping company that closed down transferred the facilities of its Fukuyama branch office to the new company. The founder and company president was Noboru Shibuya, who also founded Shibuya Group (渋谷組), which later became Fukuyama Real Estate (福山地所), and is now Vessel (real estate company). In 1950, after expanding into transportation services based out of Fukuyama Station, the company name was changed to Fukuyama Transporting, Co., Ltd. It was listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. After founding the company, Noboru Shibuya spent 22 years until his death growing it into a shipping company with a network all over Japan. In 1960 it partnered with and came under the umbrella of Kintetsu Railway.
