Archelis Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; Representatives: Katsuhiko Saho and Hideyuki Fujisawa; hereinafter \u201cArchelis\u201d) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a business alliance agreement with JMC Corporation (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa; President and CEO: Daichi Watanabe; hereinafter \u201cJMC\u201d) regarding the sales of Archelis products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside this alliance, both companies have agreed to begin discussions regarding a potential future capital alliance, while verifying business synergies through this collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Background of the Alliance
Archelis was founded as a “monozukuri” (manufacturing) startup originating from a small-to-medium-sized enterprise. Leveraging expertise in metal processing and a strong development network, the company develops original products such as the “Archelis” assist suit and the “STABI series” (devices for reducing the burden of standing work), selling them both domestically and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

JMC provides services that support customer development through technologies such as casting, 3D printing, and industrial CT. JMC\u2019s strengths lie in its speed and technical capabilities required at development sites. Furthermore, its proprietary product, the heart catheter simulator “HEARTROID,” has a strong global sales track record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this alliance, Archelis aims to further expand the “standing work market” by combining its product lineup with JMC\u2019s broad customer base in the manufacturing industry and the international sales channels established through “HEARTROID.”

<\/span>2. Details of the Alliance
Archelis will leverage JMC\u2019s customer base and network to begin the sales of its developed products as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commencement: February 2026
Target Region: Global
Target Products: All products of Archelis Inc.
Scope of Operations: Market research, product promotion, sales activities, and related incidental operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both companies will jointly conduct sales promotion and domestic\/overseas sales activities through exhibition displays, seminars, and web marketing. The goal is to expand sales, strengthen product development capabilities, and accumulate know-how through personnel exchange.

<\/span>3. Discussions Regarding Future Capital Alliance
Archelis and JMC will continue to discuss the possibility of a future capital alliance based on market response, synergy verification, and the progress of business plans. This includes several options, such as the acquisition of Archelis shares by JMC, though no specific details have been determined at this time.
