Decided on M&A to secure talent, surprised by the effects beyond expectations.

Introducing a case study interview on M&A involving a company that designs, manufactures, sells, and maintains automatic measuring machines!

Mr. M was the second generation of Miyata Engineering, a manufacturer of automatic weighing machines that has been in operation since his father's time. They received orders for custom-made automatic weighing machines for powders and granules, designed and manufactured them, and also handled maintenance, a style that has been chosen by customers as it is not something large companies can easily offer. However, a long-standing challenge has been securing human resources. Even when young employees were hired, they often did not stay long, leading to an aging workforce. With a strong sense of responsibility, knowing that closing the business would inconvenience both customers and employees, he decided to pursue M&A. He struggled with this decision for about three years and spent around two years selecting a brokerage firm. Subsequently, in 2023, he successfully completed an M&A with Nagashima Engineering, which also provides design staffing, and it was decided that new employees would join Miyata Engineering. We spoke with Mr. M about the detailed circumstances that led to the decision to choose M&A and his future plans. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
