Valiant Partners: Anzen Group Starts New Services

Anzen Group, a Tokyo-based taxi operator and a portfolio company of Valiant Partners, introduces new services to its transportation business.

It launches " Support Taxi", where the driver provides concierge-type services to his/her taxi clients. Examples are: booking doctor appointments, picking up medicine, escorting children to and from school, shopping and other emergency assistance.

Anzen Group is no exception in suffering from weakening sales under the current economic slowdown. The company tries to differentiate itself from competitors by introducing the new services for approximately 15% of its taxi fleet.
