On November 4, 2025, Hi-Lex Corporation announced the completion of its acquisition of 100% of the shares of Mitsui Kinzoku ACT Corporation.
Both Hi-Lex Corporation and Mitsui Kinzoku ACT are leading Japanese automotive parts manufacturers. To better adapt to changes in the automotive parts market and leverage the respective strengths of both companies, Hi-Lex decided to acquire all shares of Mitsui Kinzoku ACT, with the acquisition price exceeding 11.3 billion yen.
The two parties jointly entrusted Hanling to handle the merger control notification in China. Given that the two companies have both horizontal competitive relationships and vertical transactional relationships in multiple product areas, this merger control notification involved over 10 relevant product markets, and complicated competitive dynamics within each market.
Our law firm successfully navigated challenges including a lack of publicly available information, and completed the merger control notification process, obtaining unconditional approval from the State Administration for Market Regulation on July 22, 2025.
