Nagoya, Japan \u2014 March 2026<\/strong> \u2014 Brother Industries<\/span><\/span> has officially completed its acquisition of Mutoh Holdings<\/span><\/span>, securing an 88.01% ownership stake and significantly strengthening its position in the global professional imaging and wide-format printing markets.<\/p>\n

Brother acquired 4,039,103 shares of Mutoh at \u00a57,626 per share, representing a total transaction value of approximately \u00a530.8 billion (about $230 million USD). The all-cash deal, funded entirely from internal reserves, exceeded the required ownership threshold and will result in Mutoh\u2019s delisting from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, followed by a statutory squeeze-out of remaining minority shareholders.<\/p>\n

The acquisition marks a strategic expansion for Brother into high-growth wide-format segments, adding Mutoh\u2019s established portfolio of professional-grade inkjet printing systems. Mutoh\u2019s offerings include UV-LED, eco-solvent, dye-sublimation, and direct-to-textile printers, along with cutting plotters, large-format scanners, and 3D printing technologies for industrial and commercial applications.<\/p>\n

\u201cMutoh\u2019s industry-leading wide-format technology accelerates Brother\u2019s strategic expansion into high-growth imaging segments,\u201d said Kazufumi Ikeda, President of Brother Industries. \u201cThis acquisition provides immediate access to advanced UV-LED platforms, integrated cutting systems, and RIP software supporting signage, textile, and industrial markets.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mutoh also brings proprietary technologies such as UV-LED curing systems under the AMP SPEED brand, VerteLith RIP software, and environmentally conscious ink solutions\u2014further aligning with Brother\u2019s long-term focus on sustainable printing technologies.<\/p>\n

Effective March 30, 2026, Mutoh will operate as a consolidated subsidiary of Brother, with integration efforts already underway. Brother plans to maintain Mutoh\u2019s headquarters in Tokyo while leveraging its global manufacturing and distribution infrastructure to expand market reach.<\/p>\n

The addition of Mutoh enhances Brother\u2019s Printing & Solutions segment, contributing approximately \u00a518.1 billion in annual revenue and \u00a51.3 billion in operating profit based on Mutoh\u2019s latest fiscal performance. While the near-term financial impact is expected to be modest, the long-term strategic value positions Brother as a more competitive force in the professional wide-format printing industry.<\/p>\n

With this acquisition, Brother establishes a stronger foothold in large-format printing, combining its global scale with Mutoh\u2019s specialized expertise in signage, textiles, and industrial imaging applications.<\/p>\n
