BRUNO to merge cosmetics subsidiaries for streamlined operations

BRUNO Corporation announced on October 21, 2025, that its board has approved the merger of its consolidated subsidiary, Japan Gals Co. (JG), and JG's wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, Japan Gals SC Co. (JGSC). The merger, effective January 1, 2026, aims to establish an integrated system from manufacturing to sales, eliminating redundant management departments, and fostering quicker decision-making.

The merger will see JG, with capital of JPY 20 million, absorb JGSC, which has capital of JPY 100 million. JG is involved in planning, development, OEM, and manufacturing of cosmetics, while JGSC focuses on planning, development, OEM, sales of cosmetics, and health food sales. Both entities are located in Shikokuchuo City, Ehime Prefecture. JG is 100% owned by BRUNO Corporation, and JGSC is 100% owned by JG.

This internal reorganization within BRUNO's wholly-owned subsidiaries is expected to have a minor impact on the company's consolidated financial performance. The surviving company, JG, will continue with its current name, location, representative, business activities, capital, and fiscal year end.
