Completion of the Merger between Canon IT Solutions and TCS
On July 1, 2025, the merger between Canon IT Solutions and TCS was officially completed as announced by Canon Marketing Japan on October 23, 2024. Canon Marketing Japan, led by President Masachika Adachi, has integrated its wholly owned subsidiary, Canon IT Solutions, under the leadership of President Akira Kanazawa, with TCS, also a wholly owned subsidiary, headed by President Hiroyuki Yamagishi, designated as the dissolved entity.
This strategic acquisition aims to enhance Canon IT Solutions' IT platform division by incorporating TCS's operations. The newly formed TCS division will continue to manage existing client relationships and services that TCS has previously offered.

Following the merger, the TCS division is scheduled to relocate its offices by the end of September 2025. The current locations in Ebisu, Shibuya, and Higashisuna, Koto will be transitioned to Canon IT Solutions' Tennoz and Higashi-Shinagawa offices. This relocation reflects Canon's commitment to consolidating operations and streamlining its service offerings.
