A doubling of output despite global #SupplyChainDisruption - what sounds almost impossible could be achieved with the support of a specialized team around my colleagues Nicolas Franzwa and Michael Kraft at Elektro-Automatik (EA). #WhenItReallyMatters The formerly family-owned business had enjoyed attractive growth for almost 50 years before global megatrends (especially the #energytransition and the #electrification of the world economy) had materially accelerated the demand for the company’s products across various industrial and R&D applications in recent years. To harness the significant market potential, the manufacturing and logistics processes had to be fundamentally changed. The result: By the end of 2022, in less than 12 months, EA had significantly scaled its operations while productivity increased by 25%, resulting in almost 50% revenue #growth during that year.

What does Fujitec exploring a sale to private equity have to do with Japan's corporate governance reform? Read James Halse, CFA's post below to find out.
I ran ~$1bn in global & Japan equities long/short. Now the founder of Senjin Capital. We invest in & engage with Japanese companies to improve corporate value.
Elevator manufacturer Fujitec spiked +9% today, improving already impressive share price performance over the last few years. Why? The FT (Leo Lewis & others) reported it has engaged in talks to sell itself to private equity (link to article in the comments). But there is more to this story than the immediate private equity interest. In fact, it illustrates a key goal of the corporate governance reform process in Japan... (more below) Fujitec previously had its board removed and replaced by a slate of independents at an extraordinary general meeting, due to intervention by an activist investor which highlighted cases of alleged misappropriation of company funds by the founding family. Fujitec was a core holding when I managed Platinum Asset Management's #Japan strategies, and we utilised our votes at the EGM in the best interest of our investors. That a privatisation is now on the cards will not be a major surprise to those who have followed the story. What is surprising though, is that the FT does not mention interest from strategic acquirors. As the FT states, there are four major non-Japanese global players in the elevator industry: Otis, Schindler, Kone and TK Elevator. But, Japan alone has four players! Mitsubishi Electric, Toshiba, Hitachi, and Fujitec. This is not economically rational, and creates an intensely competitive environment in Japan, which disadvantages the Japanese companies as they seek global expansion - denied the support of a healthy profit pool in their home market. As with many industries in Japan, consolidation seems sensible. This is a big part of what the government has been pushing for with its corporate governance reforms, and most recently, METI's takeover guidelines. Expect to see much more M&A in Japan's future. Fujitec would appear to be a solid strategic acquisition for one of its Japanese competitors, but could also see interest from the global majors. This will be another interesting one to watch!
