Over the years, the company has grown to over 380 locations worldwide, employing approximately 8,500 people. It manages more than 1.6 million TEUs of ocean freight and 120,000 tons of air freight annually, with revenue reaching approximately $5.85 billion in 2025.\n\nPresident and CEO Lee Yong-ho acknowledges that the company's growth has primarily come from domestic corporate customers, but he recognizes the need for a shift towards a truly global logistics company. This vision is a departure from the company's past focus on domestic freight volumes.\n\nThe transformation at LX Pantos involves a change in mindset and disciplined execution, which has resulted in successful commercial partnerships with multinational corporations in China, Asia, and Europe.

This shift in focus is particularly evident in the U.S., where LX Pantos has expanded its presence with regional hubs and collaborations such as the one with ONE and the Virginia Port Authority.\n\nLooking towards the future, LX Pantos sees significant growth potential in Southeast Asia, India, and Eastern Europe, as manufacturing bases relocate. The company's expertise in installation, developed domestically through a partnership with LG Electronics, is another distinctive aspect of its global expansion.",
