Brother and Private Equity Firm Vie for Roland DG in Potential Industry-Shifting Acquisition

par Personnel

HAMAMATSU | Japan – March 2024 – Roland DG Corporation (Roland DG) finds itself at the center of a high-stakes bidding war, with both Brother Industries, Ltd. (Brother), a leading printer manufacturer, and Taiyo Pacific Partners (Taiyo), a private equity firm, vying for acquisition. This news marks a potential turning point for the digital printing solutions leader.

Brother recently entered the fray on March 13, 2024, with a tender offer valued at ¥64 billion (approximately USD $43.34). This comes after Taiyo Pacific Partners, through its subsidiary Taiyo XYZ Group, L.P., launched an initial offer of ¥62 billion in February 2024.

The tender offer process for both Brother and Taiyo is still unfolding, subject to regulatory approvals.

This development presents a complex situation for Roland DG. While both offers represent a potential premium for shareholders, the companies’ visions likely differ. Brother, with its established printer market presence, could offer product development synergies and a wider sales network. Taiyo, on the other hand, might approach Roland DG with a focus on long-term growth and potentially more operational independence.

Roland DG’s board of directors will need to carefully evaluate both proposals and determine which best aligns with the company’s long-term goals, employee well-being, and the future of the digital printing industry.

This acquisition saga highlights the evolving landscape of the printing industry. Consolidation with either Brother or Taiyo could potentially lead to a more powerful market presence for the resulting entity.
