FY2027-H1First statedAnnual report
「The Company decided to acquire all issued shares of はこだてわいん, attracted by the brand strength, brewing expertise, product development capabilities and trusted relationships with the local community, business partners and producers that the company has built over many years. After the acquisition, the Company will respect はこだてわいん's corporate name, brand, employees and relationships with existing business partners, and will carry forward and develop the value built to date. Going forward, while maintaining and developing the existing wine business as its near-term earnings base, the Company aims over the medium to long term to become a winery centered on Japanese wine, particularly products made from grapes grown in its own vineyards. To achieve this, it will further strengthen ties with producers, expand grape cultivation at its own farms, improve cultivation techniques and product quality, and invest in the facilities needed to establish a stable production system, with the aim of building a sustainable and stable raw material procurement system.」
The Company acquired 100% of the issued shares, with 30 June 2026 designated as the business combination date. It outlined plans to maintain and develop the existing wine business while strengthening Japanese wine, grapes from its own vineyards, cultivation techniques, product quality and stable production systems, as well as sustainable raw material procurement.
