Riso Kagaku expands in the Philippines with strategic acquisitions

Riso Kagaku Corporation announced its decision to acquire shares in RISO Copylandia Philippines Corp. (RCP) and Copylandia Sales Corp. (CSC), both based in the Philippines. This move aims to expand Riso Kagaku's business in the Philippine market, where it has long distributed products through Copylandia Office Systems Corporation. Following a business transfer from Copylandia to RCP and CSC, Riso Kagaku will acquire 59,211 shares in RCP (51% voting rights) and 8,151 shares in CSC (39% voting rights). These acquisitions are scheduled for completion by May 2026, with the share purchase agreement expected to be signed in April 2026.

RCP, established on December 5, 2025, with a capital of PHP 11,610,000, will focus on importing, distributing, and selling products, alongside management operations. CSC, established on December 12, 2025, with a capital of PHP 2,090,000, will handle product sales and services. Both new entities are headquartered in Mandaluyong City, Metro Manila, Philippines, and share president Feliciano A. Juarez, Jr.

Riso Kagaku views the impact of these acquisitions on its consolidated results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 as immaterial, but will disclose any significant future developments. This strategic investment underscores Riso Kagaku's commitment to strengthening its core printing equipment business, which includes inkjet and digital duplicating solutions, in the dynamic Philippine market.
