CJ Logistics held a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of its global distribution and logistics partnership with iHerb, a global health supplement sales platform, the company said Wednesday. The event was held to commemorate a decade of collaboration that began in the South Korean market and has since expanded into the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions.
Founded in the United States in 1996 as a small online retailer, iHerb has grown into a global wellness e-commerce company with an international sales network. CJ Logistics handles iHerb's logistics across multiple countries, providing services spanning warehousing, order management, and delivery.
Annual shipment volumes handled by CJ Logistics for iHerb have grown roughly tenfold, from 1.1 million boxes initially to 10.4 million boxes in 2025. Cumulative shipments to date total approximately 60 million boxes.
In line with iHerb's Asia-Pacific expansion strategy, CJ Logistics established Korea's first Global Distribution Center (GDC) in Incheon in 2018. The two companies are currently extending their cooperation into Middle East markets, including Saudi Arabia. Going forward, they plan to work together to expand product offerings and build out logistics infrastructure to meet demand from Middle Eastern consumers.
"iHerb aims to provide high-quality products that consumers around the world can trust and choose, delivered faster and more reliably, and our partnership with CJ Logistics is a core foundation supporting this global service competitiveness," iHerb CEO Iman Zabihi said. "We look forward to combining both companies' global distribution and logistics capabilities to continuously innovate the supply chain and enhance competitiveness."
"Through our partnership with iHerb, we have not only expanded the countries we serve and shipment volumes but also maximized synergy between distribution and logistics by raising global consumer satisfaction," said Jonathan Song, head of CJ Logistics' global business division. "Based on advanced logistics technology and operational expertise, we will further upgrade our supply chain operations and strengthen our position as a key partner supporting the growth of the global e-commerce market."
