history

Yamato delivery truck, 2008

Yamato Un'yu KK (until 1982 大 和 運輸 株式会社 ) was founded in November 1919. At that time the company had four trucks. In 1923 a regular delivery service was established between Tokyo and Yokohama . In May 1949, Yamato Un'yu went public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange . In 1950 one began to work with air freight. The international parcel service was approved in 1955. In 2005 the group of companies was transformed into a holding company - Yamato Holdings KK ( ヤ マ ト ホ ー ル デ ィ ン グ ス 株式会社 ) - and the transport segment was spun off as the new Yamato Un'yu KK.

The yellow company logo ( Kuro-neko ) with the black mother cat carrying her young is one of the most famous in Japan. It was originally used by the American company Allied Van Lines , which approved the use of Yamato in 1957. The cat logo has been in use at Yamato Un'yu since June 1957.
