“We don’t have enough people.” “Young people just aren’t joining.”
In the logistics industry, we have been hearing these words for many years.
In 2024, new working-hour rules for truck drivers came into effect,
making every member of our workforce more important than ever.
Against this backdrop, SA Group is building a new path forward — working hand in hand with staff from overseas.
Let working in Japan become your confidence,
and drive your life forward with pride.
Our goal is not to bring in colleagues from abroad simply as “labor.”
Earning a license, learning Japanese, supporting one another, and step by step becoming a true professional —
we want every one of them to be able to say with pride, “I’m glad I came to work in Japan.”
That is our wish.
SA Group walks alongside every foreign staff member taking on the challenge of working in Japan.
Message from Our President
“We don’t treat anyone as ‘special.’
We want to share the true rewards of working at a Japanese company.”
Values around work differ from country to country. Some people work to support their families, some see a job simply as a way to earn money, and some aim to earn more than anyone and live well. None of these values should be dismissed.
Yet in Japan, the meaning of work goes beyond earning money — it also includes being useful to society and finding purpose in what you do.
We want to go beyond simply teaching driving skills and how to do the job — by sharing these values, we hope our staff come to love working in Japan even more.
Foreign staff have bravely traveled all the way to Japan to work, and we believe they deserve to hear these thoughts and ideas too. This is the fundamental philosophy of SA Group.
Whether our staff are Japanese or foreign nationals, we treat no one as special. Our aim is to guide everyone to take pride in working at SA Group, in the transportation and logistics industry, and in Japan.
President, SA Group
Akiyoshi Sakanaka
