PROSPER Capital's Acquisition of Metos

PROSPER Capital, managing the first fund of PROSPER Japan Enterprise Growth Support Fund, has made a significant acquisition of shares in Metos Corporation through a special purpose company funded by the current investment fund. This strategic move marks a new chapter for both the investment group and the renowned wellness company.

Metos is categorized as a leading company in Japan's sauna culture and has been driven by the motto of always putting people at the center of its operations. Since its founding in 1947 as an import trading company, Metos has been at the forefront of introducing authentic Finnish sauna experiences to Japan since 1966, playing a critical role in cultivating the local sauna culture from its early days.

This company holds notable accomplishments in the sauna and bathing sector, with brands like METOS, iki, and helo, leading to over 20,000 successful installations across various facilities. Their expertise extends beyond saunas, as they also engage in designing, manufacturing, and maintaining fireplaces, wood stoves, and caregiving bathing facilities. This multi-faceted approach demonstrates their solid industry knowledge and commitment to quality.

Moreover, Metos transcends mere product provision; it actively contributes to community revitalization by showcasing local resources' merits through sauna experiences and hosting hands-on events that celebrate bathing culture. Such community-centered initiatives play a vital role in their mission to enrich lives.

The decision by PROSPER Capital to invest in Metos stems from a shared appreciation for the company's high level of expertise and its commitment to enhancing community welfare. This partnership is expected to bolster Metos's growth trajectory, especially in expanding its sauna and fireplace installations in hotels, inns, residences, and other facilities throughout Japan. By doing so, PROSPER Capital aims to significantly enhance the quality of life for communities across the country while simultaneously supporting local revitalization efforts through these enriching experiences.
