Notice regarding the Integration of Group Companies involved in the Bridge, Disaster Prevention, and Water Gate Businesses
-July 18, 2025-
IHI Corporation (hereafter “IHI”) hereby announces that its wholly owned subsidiary, IHI Infrastructure Systems Co., Ltd. (hereafter “IIS”), has entered into an Absorption-Type Merger Agreement with its wholly owned subsidiary, IHI Infrastructure Construction Co., Ltd. (hereafter “IIK”). Through this merger, IIS will succeed to all businesses of IIK related to bridges, disaster prevention, and water gates, thereby integrating the group companies involved in these businesses (hereinafter, the “Integration”).
1. Purpose of the Integration
In recent years, in the domestic market, there has been an increasing demand for the efficient and effective development, maintenance, and management of social infrastructure facilities, including bridges and water gates, as well as for maintaining disaster prevention functions and enabling prompt recovery in the event of disasters. Meanwhile, in overseas markets, strong infrastructure demand continues, and Japan’s advanced technologies in the fields of bridges and water gates are highly sought after.
Under these circumstances, by combining the strengths and human resources of both companies, we will further focus on the bridge maintenance business and accelerate the establishment of a framework to address social challenges. In addition, by integrating the bridge and water gate technologies cultivated domestically with the long-span bridge technologies developed overseas, we aim to establish a leading position in Japan’s bridge and water gate industry and achieve further growth through a global growth cycle.
2. Schedule of the Integration
Date of Absorption-Type Merger Agreement: July 18, 2025
Effective Date: November 1, 2025 (planned)
3. Other
The impact of this integration on IHI’s consolidated business results will be minimal.
