Fictiv, a global supply chain technology company, announced that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by MISUMI Group Inc., a leading global supplier of mechanical components for the manufacturing industry headquartered in Japan. The all-cash transaction has a total consideration of $350 million, subject to closing adjustments. Once closed, Fictiv will join MISUMI.
This acquisition represents an investment by MISUMI to accelerate the emergence of manufacturing and supply chain solutions that deploy the power of AI through digitally native tools built on top of robust physical infrastructure to build real-world products in an efficient, scalable way.
The manufacturing and supply chain industries are rapidly evolving and increasingly volatile, fueled by shifts in global tariff and trade policy, geopolitical uncertainty, logistics disruptions, and technology developments. These events are exposing traditional manufacturing and supply chain methods that are expensive, inefficient, and opaque, creating inordinate risk in building and scaling products.
