SANKYO Co., Ltd. (6417) said on Oct. 21 it acquired all 600 shares of gaming machine developer A-gon on Sept. 30, 2026, making it a wholly owned subsidiary, without disclosing the price.
Japan's pachinko machine manufacturers' association, known as Nikkoso, confirmed on Oct. 21 that A-gon is a SANKYO group company, and SANKYO will run A-gon as a new brand within the group. SANKYO's board approved the deal and the contract was signed on Sept. 28.
A-gon, based in Sano, Tochigi Prefecture, plans, makes and sells gaming machines as well as related equipment and parts. It was founded on June 9, 1999, and has capital of ¥30 million. SANKYO had no capital or personnel ties with A-gon before the deal but did business with it involving gaming machine parts.
| A-gon (¥ million) | FY to Sept. 2023 | FY to Sept. 2024 | FY to Sept. 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total assets | 493 | 605 | 539 |
| Sales | 16 | 32 | 172 |
| Recurring profit/loss | -151 | -134 | -159 |
SANKYO said supporting A-gon on both management and operations would help it continue and grow its business while strengthening the group's business base and competitiveness. It plans to use group resources to fully support A-gon, deepen cooperation among group companies, broaden its pachinko and pachislot lineup, and increase unit sales over the medium to long term.
The acquisition price, A-gon's major shareholders and the seller were not disclosed under confidentiality agreements. SANKYO said the price was set based on third-party due diligence and the total consideration did not meet disclosure thresholds. The seller has no capital, personnel or business ties with SANKYO.
SANKYO expects the impact on its consolidated results to be minor.
