2007 | A giant step in KWE Philippines’s history as KWE Japan bought out its local partner to become a 100% Japanese freight forwarding company wholly-owned became by KWE Japan. It was also in this year that Kintetsu World Express (Clark) Inc. was established.

2020 | KWE started the year with its acquisition of another warehouse facility in Laguna Technopark. Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, KWE has remained a beacon for its employees and customers, never ceasing operations even during the most uncertain of days. KWE employees’ indomitable spirit shone through, proving beyond any doubt that when the going gets tough, KWE gets going. And so while we continue to face a tremendously challenging future, as one KWE family, made stronger and more resilient by the adversities that we faced for the past months, we shall forge ahead confident in the knowledge that KWE shall continue to do its best to protect the lives and livelihood of its employees.
