Furukawa to Acquire EarthTechnica from Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Two-Stage Share Transfer

Furukawa Co., Ltd. ( (JP:5715) ) has shared an update.

Furukawa Co., Ltd. and Kawasaki Heavy Industries have signed a definitive share transfer agreement under which Furukawa will acquire all shares of EarthTechnica Co., Ltd., Kawasaki’s wholly owned subsidiary engaged in crushing and grinding equipment. The transaction will be executed in two stages, with Furukawa first purchasing 60% of EarthTechnica’s shares and then the remaining 40%, after which EarthTechnica will become a core operating company in the Furukawa group.

By integrating EarthTechnica’s advanced crushing, grinding and sorting technologies and strong customer base, Furukawa expects to boost technological capabilities, productivity, cost competitiveness and service quality in its industrial machinery segment. The deal is also intended to accelerate Furukawa’s expansion in the environmental recycling and global mining and quarry markets, combining both companies’ sales and service networks to cover the industry value chain from upstream to downstream and strengthen overseas operations.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries determined that Furukawa’s mining-centered machinery business is highly compatible with EarthTechnica’s growth strategy, particularly in environmental business and international expansion. Both companies expect the transfer to generate mutual benefits and drive further development of the domestic quarry industry, while enabling EarthTechnica to achieve greater growth under Furukawa’s ownership and better address evolving customer needs.
