Toyota Industries Corp is reportedly preparing to accept a tender offer from Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE: TM), along with the automaker’s Chairman Akio Toyoda and related parties, according to a Kyodo News report. The announcement could come as early as May, signaling a major restructuring within the Toyota Group.
While both Toyota Motor and Toyota Industries (OTC: TYIDF) declined to confirm the report, they stated that no formal decisions have been made. “We are always examining the optimal approach regarding our holdings in Toyota Group shares, but currently no decisions have been made,” said a Toyota representative.
Citing the Nikkei business daily, the deal could be backed by up to 3 trillion yen (approximately $21 billion) in financing from banks, highlighting the scale of the potential acquisition. This comes on the heels of a Bloomberg News report last month stating that Akio Toyoda had proposed a possible acquisition of Toyota Industries in a deal valued around 6 trillion yen ($40 billion).
If completed, this would mark a significant transformation for the Toyota Group, potentially consolidating its parts manufacturing and automotive divisions under tighter control. Toyota Industries, which plays a key role in the production of auto components and forklifts, has long been a critical part of Toyota's supply chain.
The potential buyout underscores Toyota's strategy to streamline operations and enhance group-wide competitiveness amid rapid industry shifts, including the transition to electric vehicles and smart mobility.
Investors and analysts are watching closely as the deal could reshape one of Japan’s most influential corporate families and realign Toyota's corporate governance for future growth.
