Seven was established on March 24, 1968 (Showa 43) as Takaoka Unso (高岡運送), with Yoshiyuki Takaoka appointed as representative director. The initial paid-in capital was 6 million yen. In March 1983 (Showa 58), the company completed its headquarters building at 3-25-2 Miyauchi, Nakahara-ku, Kawasaki, and changed its name from Takaoka Unso to Seven Co., Ltd. (株式会社セブン). At that time, it obtained licenses for general regional freight transport and automobile transport handling, and increased its capital to 10 million yen. A trunk room was established on the first floor of the headquarters. In October 1996 (Heisei 8), the company opened the Shimo-Odanaka sales office (350 tsubo) in Nakahara-ku.
