The acquired logistics center is set to operate as a K-Culture flagship center. LX Pantos noted, "In line with the continuous increase in reverse direct-to-consumer exports of K-Culture products such as beauty, clothing, and music, we will promote overseas delivery linkage business for e-commerce customers." According to the Korea Customs Service, the amount of reverse direct-to-consumer exports last year reached $2.904 billion, a figure that is more than five times higher than $563 million in 2019.

The new logistics center is close to Incheon International Airport and Incheon North Port, Inner Port, and New Port. It covers a land area of 26,025 square meters (approximately 7,870 pyeong) and a total floor area of 142,852 square meters across 11 floors, equivalent to the combined size of 20 soccer fields.

An LX Pantos official said, "Following the existing Incheon Airport Center and Siheung MTV Center, it is expected to become a key base in the western region," adding, "We will provide optimal logistics services to customers through stable operation and increased efficiency."
