Notice of Acquisition of Shares of Ask Maintenance Co., Ltd. (Making into a Subsidiary)
We are pleased to announce that at the meeting of the Board of Directors held today, we decided to acquire the shares of Ask Maintenance Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture; President and Representative Director: Kiyoaki Inoue, hereinafter referred to as "Ask Maintenance") and make it a subsidiary.
1. Background and purpose of share acquisition
In October 2018, we formulated the AEON DELIGHT Vision 2025 with the aim of achieving further sustainable growth. We declared our intention to become a company that creates environmental value in Asia that solves social issues based on three pillars of our growth strategy: "Safety and Security", "Labor force shortage", and "Environment". To achieve the Vision 2025 goal, we are working to establish our corporate brand as a group of experts in facility management ("FM"), and to promote the formation of regional economic zones in each region in which we operate.
The consolidation of Ask Maintenance will accelerate the formation of FM's regional economic zone in the Kyushu region. In other words, Ask Maintenance operates businesses such as cleaning, facility management, condominium management, and construction and provides services to commercial facilities, hospitals, and government and municipal properties for a variety of uses. Among other things, in October 2022, Ask Maintenance became the first company in Kyushu to receive the Eco Mark certification* for "cleaning services", and has received high praise for the cleaning services. We have been providing services together in commercial facilities for some time. In November 2022, Ask Maintenance participated in the 4th AEON DELIGHT Technology Contest [Cleaning Category] sponsored by Ask Maintenance as a representative of Kyushu. As a colleague with aspirations, Ask Maintenance has cooperated to improve its technological capabilities and quality. In light of this background, we will expand our business base in Kyushu by welcoming Ask Maintenance as a fellow member of the AEON DELIGHT Group. At the same time, we will fuse the technologies and know-how cultivated by both companies to further improve quality.
Based on our management philosophy of "We Pursue the Creation of 'Environmental Value' for our Customers and for the LocalCommunities," we will continue to provide a "safe and secure" facility environment for more customers in the Kyushu area together with Ask maintenance.
*Eco Mark Certification: An environmental label certified by the Japan Environment Association for products and services that are recognized as having a low environmental impact throughout their lifecycle from "production" to "disposal" and as contributing to environmental conservation.
