Royal Holdings Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Fukuoka-shi, Fukuoka; Representative Director: Yasuhiro Kurosu; “Royal HD”) and Sojitz Corporation (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Masayoshi Fujimoto; “Sojitz”) have concluded a joint venture agreement on July 12, 2021, to establish a local subsidiary in Singapore through joint investment。
Royal HD and Sojitz formed a capital and business tie-up on February 15, 2021. Through this strategic partnership, the companies will leverage the content owned by Royal HD along with Sojitz’s global networks to promote high-affinity businesses as well as to create and deliver new products, services, and value. In doing so, both companies aim to raise their corporate value further.
As part of Royal HD and Sojitz’s joint initiative to develop areas of growth, the companies will establish a joint venture company in Singapore. Royal HD is committed to establishing business foundations in overseas markets, and Sojitz brings strong expertise on business outside Japan and its global networks. Moving forward, both companies seek to establish joint ventures in the restaurant business and food manufacturing business at an early stage, in Asian and other emerging markets, in order to find and capture business opportunities through M&As and business tie-ups. Royal HD and Sojitz’s joint venture will be established in Singapore, a global business hub. The country’s information on F&B(food and beverages) industry trends and business networks make it an ideal location for discovering growth opportunities.
Through the establishment of this joint venture, Royal HD and Sojitz aim to actively seek out new business possibilities, while responding to the drastic changes in social environments as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Both companies strive to address global issues relating to the environment, public health, and the economy, by creating new business models, products, and services for sustainable growth.
