About

Canadian Operations Based in Coquitlam, British Columbia

Sangjin Logistics Systems Ltd. is the wholly owned Canadian subsidiary of the Korean parent company. Based in Coquitlam, the Canadian operation is being developed as an asset-light B2B logistics-management business serving Metro Vancouver and selected Western Canadian lanes.

What the Canadian Company Does

The Canadian entity carries local commercial and operating responsibility. It is not a representative office.

  • Manage Canadian customer and partner relationships
  • Coordinate transportation requirements
  • Establish carrier and partner standards
  • Monitor shipment execution
  • Develop Canadian operating procedures
  • Provide bilingual account governance
  • Build local employment as contracted volume grows

Why Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver

Coquitlam sits inside the Metro Vancouver industrial corridor with practical access to the region’s gateway infrastructure, distribution parks, and highway network. For a management company, proximity matters less for cargo handling and more for the ability to attend receiving sites, meet carriers, and resolve issues in person when a shipment requires it.

  • Port of Vancouver gateway access
  • Lower Mainland manufacturing and distribution
  • Highway connections across the region
  • BC–Alberta industrial lanes
  • An established Korean business community
  • Pacific trade routes

Terminal and port facilities are operated by third parties. Sangjin does not operate marine or terminal infrastructure.

Local Team Development

The Canadian organization is designed to add local coordination, carrier-relations, customer-success, and operations-management roles as contracted workload grows.

Hiring follows contracted volume rather than preceding it. This keeps service quality tied to actual capacity, and it is consistent with how the parent company has grown its own operations.

Governance

The relationship between the Canadian subsidiary and the Korean parent is documented rather than informal.

  • Wholly owned by the Korean parent company
  • Canadian management responsibility for local operations and commitments
  • Local contracts with Canadian customers and Canadian partners
  • Parent support and structured operating knowledge transfer
  • Documented reporting between the Canadian subsidiary and the parent company

What Sangjin manages

  • Carrier sourcing and coordination
  • Shipment milestones
  • Exception escalation
  • Partner qualification
  • SOP development
  • Bilingual reporting
  • Account governance

What qualified partners perform

  • Physical transportation
  • Warehousing
  • Customs-broker-authorized activity
  • Specialized regulated services

Frequently asked questions

Is the Canadian company a branch office or a separate legal entity?

It is a separate Canadian legal entity, wholly owned by the Korean parent company. Canadian customer and carrier contracts are held by the Canadian entity, and Canadian management carries responsibility for local operations.

Korean Parent Company

Does Sangjin operate a warehouse or yard in British Columbia?

No. Sangjin does not operate warehousing, cross-dock, or yard facilities in Canada. Where a shipment requires storage or handling, that service is performed by a separately contracted qualified warehouse provider under its own agreement.

Our Operating Model

Which regions can you currently serve?

Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland form the operating foundation, with BC–Alberta lanes supported where contracted demand and qualified carrier capacity exist. We do not claim nationwide offices or guaranteed capacity, and each new region is added only after an operating and compliance review.
