NPF Establishes New Fund with Incs, Inc.
 
Nomura Principal Finance Co., Ltd. (NPF), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nomura Holdings, Inc. (NHI), and Incs, Inc. (Incs) announced today that they will establish a joint fund. The ‘Raicho Fund’ aims to break new ground in the mold and die industry.
 
The mold and die industry is the mother industry of manufacturing, and molds and dies are an essential part of the manufacturing industry. The Fund will invest in mold and die manufacturers with sophisticated production capabilities. The Fund hopes to raise the corporate value of companies it invests in and strengthen the industry through a combination of Incs’ sophisticated production systems and NPF’s extensive industry knowledge and cutting-edge financial know-how.
 
Since it was established in 1990, Incs has been building 3D CAD/CAM driven tool production systems. Incs’ dominant strength lies in its ability to reduce product development time through the use of IT and standardization in tool design and manufacturing. Incs utilizes its vast in-house know-how to help boost the productivity of the companies in which it invests. On this occasion, NPF will provide financial and management support.
 
Please see attached for the outline of the Fund.
