Hanjin announced on October 26 that it had launched operations at the new Hanjin Toronto Fulfillment Center near Toronto Pearson International Airport in Canada.

The center is a key hub Hanjin has established in North America, following the third expansion of its Los Angeles (LA) fulfillment center in February 2026. In anticipation of rising demand for K-beauty products across North America, Hanjin built local fulfillment infrastructure ahead of time. The center gives the company an integrated logistics system covering everything from business-to-business (B2B) inbound shipments for clients entering the North American market to last-mile business-to-consumer (B2C) deliveries. To mark its opening, the company's senior executives also visited the site to inspect the facilities and initial operations.

The new hub is located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Canada's economic center. It provides fast delivery services to key commercial areas with strong demand for K-beauty products, including the major suburbs of Mississauga, Brampton and Markham.

Covering approximately 4,200 pyeong, the center is located near Pearson International Airport and major rail terminals, making it well-suited for integrated ground and air transportation. It has also obtained a bonded warehouse operating license. In particular, it meets the temperature and humidity control and hygiene standards essential for storing and handling cosmetics, and has been certified as a facility compliant with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards in accordance with Health Canada regulations. The center has also secured Partners in Protection (PIP) certification, a trade security program that streamlines customs inspections at the Canadian and U.S. borders, improving cross-border logistics efficiency in North America.

Hanjin accelerated the center's launch to prepare for a surge in K-beauty shipments ahead of the year-end shopping season in the fourth quarter, the busiest period of the year. It is drawing on the solution design and management expertise of its existing LA fulfillment center to ensure stable operations from the outset. The company plans to further develop logistics synergies across North America by connecting the two hubs.

Hanjin is also helping Korean brands enter local markets by providing customized logistics services that connect every step of the process, including platform-specific packaging and labeling, local customs clearance, support for value-added tax and tax filings, and last-mile delivery across North America.

A Hanjin representative said, "In response to the explosive growth of K-beauty in the North American market, we have opened a fulfillment center in Canada following our center in LA. As our brands are becoming increasingly popular with consumers across North America, we will establish ourselves as the optimal smart logistics partner, supporting our partners' successful global expansion."
