What one company cannot achieve alone, two companies can together. This is the fundamental value of M&A.
Humans naturally like to come together, which is not just a habit—it’s one of our greatest strengths. Individual power has its limits, but together, we can achieve far more. At Strike, we harness this innate human trait to build essential partnerships and accomplish what would otherwise be unattainable.
M&A is a powerful tool to solve succession issues, divest non-core businesses, scale operations to boost productivity, drive innovation, and acquire new technologies. What problems can we solve, and what new possibilities can we unlock through M&A? What challenges can we tackle, and what future can we shape together? Who should we partner with to make it happen? These are the questions we always keep in the forefront of our minds.
Now, let me share what we believe is essential to successful M&A: it’s fundamentally about people.
Despite the cold, inorganic image often associated with the term “M&A,” it is ultimately driven by human desires and decisions. Making the momentous decision to buy or sell a company can be daunting, but our commitment is to support these human endeavors with integrity and respect.
At Strike, we do more than just facilitate transactions; we create partnerships that change the world.
Kunihiko Arai,
President & CEO
