Announcement Regarding the Business Acquisition by Our Subsidiary (ALH Inc.)
SHIFT Inc. (“SHIFT,” headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Masaru Tange, CEO and Representative Director) announced today that its wholly-owned subsidiary, ALH Inc. (“ALH,” headquartered in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan; Shoji Hatakeyama, Representative Director and President) has resolved to acquire the SES business from wonder wall Inc. (“wonder wall,” headquartered in Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Takaatsu Nakashima, Representative Director).
1. Reason for the Acquisition of Business
Within SHIFT Group, ALH, which engages in the software development business, has been actively promoting initiatives aimed at corporate growth, including expanding the number of engineers through proactive recruitment, raising engineer unit prices, and strengthening organizational engagement through various human resource measures. Since joining the SHIFT Group, ALH has achieved sustained business growth. Furthermore, ALH has actively pursued a strategy of expanding its business footprint not only in the Tokyo metropolitan area but also in Fukuoka and Osaka. In particular, the Fukuoka region offers significant potential for market expansion, and ALH aims to grow its organizational structure to a workforce of approximately 1,000 employees as part of strengthening its customer base (which is a key focus for future business growth).
wonder wall, headquartered in Fukuoka, provides SES services with a team of highly experienced engineers and has established stable business relationships, particularly with a leading system integrator.
To further expand ALH’s operations and build a supply framework that meets growing customer demand in the Fukuoka region, ALH has decided to acquire wonder wall’s SES business. This acquisition is expected to generate strong synergies with its existing operations.
The SHIFT Group will continue to accelerate its growth and enhance the value of the services it provides, striving to realize the creation of services that drive sales for its customers.
