NAGASE Corporation's Strategic Move Towards Growth

On November 2, 2026, NAGASE Corporation, headquartered in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, announced the establishment of a new regional headquarters, NAGASE (ASIA PACIFIC) LIMITED, in Hong Kong. This initiative is part of their medium-term management plan, "Walk the Talk 2028," aimed at achieving a market capitalization of 1 trillion yen while strengthening their business foundation.
