CAMBRIDGE, MA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pelicargo, a digital air cargo quoting and booking technology, today announced that it has received a strategic investment from the corporate venture capital fund of Mitsubishi Logistics Corporation (MLC Ventures).
This investment establishes a strategic relationship between the two companies, which will explore opportunities for future collaboration in air cargo, logistics, and supply chain technology.
As global supply chains become increasingly complex, the logistics industry continues to face growing demand for digitalization and operational efficiency.

The Pelicargo platform enables freight forwarders to rapidly compare transportation options and seamlessly manage the entire shipment process—from quoting and booking to cargo execution—through a single digital interface.
Shunji Sekimoto, General Manager of MLC Ventures: “We are pleased to support Pelicargo through this strategic investment. We believe Pelicargo’s platform addresses an important challenge in the air cargo industry by digitalizing the traditionally manual quoting and booking process. By improving operational efficiency for both freight forwarders and airlines, we believe the company is well positioned to contribute to the continued digital transformation of the air cargo industry. As a global logistics company, Mitsubishi Logistics is continuously exploring innovative technologies that can create long-term value for our customers and partners. Through this investment, we see opportunities to leverage our global logistics network, including our U.S. operations, while exploring collaboration with Pelicargo to further enhance international logistics services and supply chain solutions.”
Shinji Angata, Co-Founder of Pelicargo: “We are delighted to welcome Mitsubishi Logistics as a strategic investor in Pelicargo. Mitsubishi Logistics has built a strong reputation in the global logistics industry through decades of experience and an extensive international network spanning approximately 50 overseas locations across North America, Europe, China, Southeast Asia, and other key markets. We believe this relationship represents an important milestone in Pelicargo’s continued growth. This investment provides an opportunity to strengthen our strategic partnership with Mitsubishi Logistics, and we look forward to expanding opportunities to contribute to the continued digital transformation of the logistics industry.”
Pelicargo provides freight forwarders with access to real-time airline rates and capacity from more than 130 airlines, enabling them to compare transportation options, secure capacity, and execute air cargo shipments more efficiently through a single digital platform.
Today, more than 600 U.S.-based freight forwarders use Pelicargo as part of their day-to-day operations. The company will continue expanding its technology platform and industry partnerships to drive greater efficiency and accelerate the digital transformation of the air cargo industry.
