Expanding IT services for the HR industry, aiming for further business expansion.

We are pleased to announce that BrainLab Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Norihiro Nakae, hereinafter referred to as BrainLab), a group company of ZIGExN Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Directors, Operating Officer, and CEO: Joe Hirao, Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime: 3679, hereinafter referred to as ZIGExN), providing DX support for Temporary staffing and Job placement agencies, has absorbed and merged its subsidiary, TEICHACK Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tetsuya Isono, hereinafter referred to as TEICHACK) as of July 1, 2024, to further expand its business.

1. Purpose of the absorption merger

Under the vision of “blooming ~ Enriching Lives through ‘Work’ ~,” BrainLab offers the cloud-based business systems “CAREER PLUS” and “MatchinGood” for Temporary staffing and Job placement businesses, as well as the LINE Official Account expansion tool “MyRec” for Temporary staffing and Job placement agencies. By absorbing and merging TEICHACK, which has been responsible for the planning, development, and operation of the LINE Official Account expansion tool “+one step” that supports the entire process from recruitment to matching and retention, we aim to provide deeper support to the human resources business industry and companies facing recruitment challenges. This merger is intended to enhance our capability to assist these organizations more effectively.

BrainLab, which has been providing specialized services to the human resources business industry for over 20 years, acquired 100% of TEICHACK’s shares on March 28, 2024, making it a wholly-owned subsidiary. This acquisition was aimed at leveraging the synergies between Brain Lab and TEICHACK, as well as improving the efficiency of management operations and strengthening management oversight. To further expand and accelerate our business, we have now absorbed and merged TEICHACK. This merger is being carried out with a spirit of equality between the two companies, progressing towards full integration of their management.

２. Outlooks after absorption merger

The “+one step” feature is already being offered to Temporary staffing and Job placement agencies as part of Brain Lab’s “MyRec” service.

Moving forward, through collaboration with our DX support platform business, we aim to establish a comprehensive supply chain that can provide everything from attracting job seekers and workers to recruitment and retention support, not only in the human resources business industry but also for anyone facing challenges in recruitment and retention.

3. Overview of the Absorption merger

(1) Merger Date (Effective Date): July 1, 2024
(2) Merger Method: Merger by absorption, with Brain Lab as the surviving entity and TEICHACK dissolving.
(3) Succession of Rights and Obligations: The surviving entity will inherit the assets and liabilities of the dissolving entity, as well as any contracts entered into and the associated credits and debts.
