M&A Online HUB: A New Vision for M&A Engagement

In a groundbreaking move for the M&A industry, Strike Co., Ltd., headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has rolled out its latest video initiative, the "M&A Online HUB". This new content series is set to launch on February 18, 2026, aiming to deliver authentic voices from all corners of the M&A ecosystem through engaging video formats. From real success stories to interviews with industry leaders, this series promises to be an invaluable resource for anyone involved in M&A activities.

This initial episode features an exclusive interview with Hiroshi Noguchi, the CEO of Koyou Daiichi Consultants, a construction consulting firm that has strategically leveraged M&A as a cornerstone of its growth plan. Over the last five years, the firm has successfully acquired eleven companies, particularly targeting local businesses facing succession struggles or uncertainties about their future. In this revealing interview, Noguchi will unpack the motivations behind focusing on regional companies, how his firm selects projects, and the decision-making processes involved, sharing experiences drawn from his extensive background in the industry.

Alongside Noguchi, representatives from the four companies that have been integrated into his firm will share their candid thoughts on the M&A process. They will discuss their genuine feelings when approached for acquisition, the changes their employees experienced during the transition, and actual outcomes regarding performance, benefits, and work culture. This multi-faceted perspective aims to shed light on what's truly happening on the ground in local M&A deals, providing insights that are often obscured from public view.
