Silverbacks Principal Group Acquires Data Far East Corporation

In a move set to bolster its operations, Silverbacks Principal Group, known for its diverse ventures in the hospitality sector, has completed the acquisition of Data Far East Corporation (DFE). This strategic acquisition, effective June 30, 2025, marks a significant step in strengthening the group’s organizational foundation through the integration of DFE’s specialized back-office services.

The Rationale Behind the Acquisition

Expanding Network and Expertise

The acquisition of DFE, a company acclaimed for its comprehensive back-office outsourcing services, is aimed at enhancing the operational robustness of the Silverbacks Group. With a strong history in restaurant operations and wellness facilities, Shokusai Holdings, a subsidiary of Silverbacks, is focused on sustainable growth and increasing corporate value. By merging with DFE’s extensive expertise in back-end processing, the two companies plan to further solidify their service offerings and improve customer engagement.

Objectives of the M&A

1. Enhancing Service Quality: Improved customer satisfaction through superior service delivery.
2. Strengthening Corporate Functions: Integration of corporate departments for enhanced functionality across the group.
3. Standardizing Management Practices: Utilizing DFE's knowledge to streamline operations and boost efficiency.

Despite becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary, DFE will maintain its current name and operational structure for the time being, ensuring continuity in service and branding.

Future Prospects

The merging of the two companies is anticipated to yield substantial synergies. By capitalizing on DFE’s know-how and personnel, Silverbacks aims to accelerate the optimization of group functions and enhance decision-making speeds through AI integration in corporate headquarters.

Long-Term Vision

Silverbacks Principal Group envisions leveraging DFE’s expertise along with artificial intelligence to expand its outsourcing services for external clients, thereby increasing the overall value offered by the corporate family. By focusing on long-term growth and maintaining beneficial relationships within the group, Silverbacks is committed to continual mergers and acquisitions as a key growth strategy. Under its unique PMO, the company will ensure that organizational resources are effectively directed towards enhancing core business values.
