SAKATA INX CORPORATION (Headquarters: Nishi-ku, Osaka; President and CEO: Yoshiaki Ueno; Securities Code: 4633; hereinafter "SAKATA INX") announces that it has established a new company, "SAKATA Brand Solutions Co., Ltd.", to provide brand protection solutions business. SAKATA Brand Solutions will be the exclusive distributor in the Japanese market for OpSec Security, which provides a wide range of brand protection solutions to major brands and government agencies around the world and will also continue to support OpSec Security's customers in Japan.
OpSec Security, a leading provider of brand protection technology, has over 40 years of experience in helping companies protect their intellectual property and enhance the value of their brands, providing solutions against piracy, counterfeiting, consumer fraud, and unauthorized selling. The company offers online solutions to combat brand abuse on e-commerce and social networking sites, as well as anti-counterfeiting technology and traceability systems that use holograms and security printings that are extremely difficult to counterfeit. The company provides services to brand owners in Japan and abroad and has improved the integrity and security of numerous corporate brands.
SAKATA INX provides a wide range of business solutions for the printing industry, including printing inks, functional materials, plate making, and color management. In addition, the company is actively developing new products and services beyond the boundaries of its existing businesses. As one of these efforts, SAKATA INX and OpSec entered into a strategic business alliance in December 2023 and have been working together in Japan. By leveraging Sakata Inx's long-standing expertise in product sales, solution provision, and the networks it has developed in Japan and abroad, OpSec's advanced brand protection solutions can now be offered to an even wider range of customers. The two companies also work closely together in the process of developing, designing, and selling solutions, providing customers with the best brand protection strategies and solutions to realize them, as well as ongoing support after implementation. This knowledge is also used to further develop OpSec's products.
The establishment of this new company will strengthen OpSec's brand protection solution services in Japan and will further enhance the provision of comprehensive brand protection solutions to brand owners. OpSec and SAKATA Brand Solutions will also continue to cooperate in the domestic market for brand protection solutions to provide customers with a high level of security and reliability.
