According to a company press release, Mitsui O.S.K. lines has decided to relocate their North American headquarters from Concord, CA to Lombard, IL.

Noboru Kitazawa, President of MOL (America) Inc, said ”The consolidation will allow for a greater synergy among the interactions between Trade Management and the Product Management Team (PMT) which is already located in Lombard. This will improve our ability to optimize vessel and intermodal networks to enhance revenue and cost management, as well as broaden our employees’ career opportunities.”

Relocation of current staff is expected to take place in August 2009. MOL is the second major carrier to move headquarters out of California as APL announced a move to Phoenix in January.
