Zigexn acquires Alpha Staff, expands into resort staffing

Zigexn Co., Ltd. announced its decision to acquire all shares of Alpha Staff Co., Ltd., making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The acquisition, valued at 89 million yen, includes 80 million yen for shares and 9 million yen for advisory fees, and is scheduled for execution on November 10, 2025. Alpha Staff specializes in temporary staffing and job placement within the resort sector and foreign temporary staffing for manufacturing. Zigexn aims to enhance these areas through its matching technology and operational improvements.

The acquisition allows Zigexn to enter the expanding resort sector, driven by a projected increase in inbound tourists, with August 2025 seeing 3.43 million visitors. Alpha Staff's non-core businesses, including amusement, welfare, and real estate, will be divested before the share transfer. The acquisition is expected to have a minor impact on Zigexn's current fiscal year performance.

Alpha Staff's most recent financial figures (March 2025) show net sales of 1,925 million yen and an operating loss of 53 million yen. However, the business being transferred, excluding divested non-core operations, projects net sales of 1,334 million yen and an operating income of 24 million yen for the fiscal year ending March 2026.
