EBARA Signs Equity Transfer Agreement with Germek
1. Background and Purpose
In our medium-term management plan, E-Plan 2025, we have positioned the Building Service & Industrial Segment as a growth business. We are actively investing in new bases, including through M&A, to capture growth markets and increase our market share globally. This marks the 12th new base outside Japan in approximately six years, as we continue progressing toward our long-term vision, E-Vision 2030, launched in 2020.
In the South American region, the market for pumps for agricultural, construction, industrial, and other applications is growing, and EBARA has been expanding in the region through its bases in Brazil and Colombia. Last year, we established a new base in Uruguay, the first of EBARA’s in South-Central South America, and focused on expanding market share.
Through this acquisition, EBARA will strengthen its ability to provide customized pump unit solutions tailored to diverse customer needs, in addition to its conventional offering of stand-alone pump products, particularly in Brazil and other regional markets. EBARA believes that this acquisition will improve the profitability and efficiency of the Building Service & Industrial Segment, supporting our goal of achieving further evolution into a Global Excellent Company.
