Bespoke Succession Solutions for Japanese Manufacturing Companies
Across Japan, many unique skilled and high quality manufacturing companies are quietly closing shop, not because of financial failure or empty order books, but because their aging owners can not find successors. This looming crisis puts decades of distinctive craftsmanship, monozukuri expertise, and even millions of jobs at risk.
That is the core raison d’etre of AKISHA KK, headquartered in Tokyo. We provide a renewed future for these companies through respectful acquisition (二人三脚伴走型), hands-on and state of the art shared back-office services, while unlocking potential new export opportunities to both European and global markets. Our unique business model doesn’t just focus on saving companies, it focuses on preserving Japan’s high quality and unique manufacturing DNA and long-standing legacy.
What We Do
From respectful acquisitions to international expansion, we support Japanese SMEs every step of the way.
