Tokai Carbon reorganizes U.S. fine carbon subsidiaries, renames entity

Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd. will reorganize its U.S. fine carbon business by integrating three wholly-owned subsidiaries—Tokai Carbon U.S.A., Inc. (TCU), KBR, Inc., and MWI, Inc.—into a single entity, effective January 1, 2026. This absorption-type merger will see TCU as the surviving company, with KBR and MWI dissolved to boost business efficiency and competitiveness. Currently, TCU, established in 1996, has $16,200 thousand in capital, while KBR and MWI, acquired in 2024, have $5 thousand and $10 thousand in capital, respectively.

Following the merger, Tokai Carbon will contribute all shares of TCU to its U.S. holding company, Tokai Carbon US Holdings Inc. (TCUSH), making TCU a subsidiary of TCUSH. TCUSH, established in 2008 with president Tsunayuki Sato, will see its capital increase from $585,001 thousand to a planned $601,201 thousand after this contribution. Concurrently, the surviving company, TCU, will be renamed Tokai Carbon GS, Inc.

This reorganization is an internal restructuring within Tokai Carbon’s consolidated group. The company anticipates that the impact on its consolidated financial results for the current fiscal year will be insignificant.
