Toyota to take supplier private in $33bn shake-up of Group Holdings

Toyota is taking its long-time parts supplier, Toyota Industries, private in a bold $33 billion buyout. This move deepens the influence of the founding Toyoda family and reshapes the group’s future.

The landmark deal will unwind decades-old cross-shareholding within the Toyota Group, a legacy structure common among Japanese conglomerates. The buyout includes a tender offer of $26 billion at 16,300 yen per share, significantly below Toyota Industries’ closing price of 18,400 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The remaining $7 billion will come through equity investments and share realignments across the group. Chairman Akio Toyoda will personally invest 1 billion yen, with Toyota Motor contributing 700 billion yen in non-voting preferred shares. Toyota Fudosan, the group’s real estate arm, will add 180 billion yen.

Analysts say the move reflects Toyota’s desire to strengthen strategic control over key technologies, especially in autonomous logistics and supply-chain automation. Vincent Sun, a senior analyst at Morningstar, noted that “bringing Toyota Industries closer could fast-track its role in Toyota’s future logistics ambitions.”

As part of the transaction, Toyota Motor and group firms Aisin, Denso, and Toyota Tsusho will sell their holdings in Toyota Industries and reacquire their own shares currently held by it. This internal shuffle is intended to reduce entangled ownership structures and improve governance, a growing priority under Japan’s corporate reform efforts.

Founded in 1926 as Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Toyota Industries is where the entire Toyota journey began. The company later created the automotive division that evolved into Toyota Motor, now the world’s largest carmaker by sales.

Going private will allow Toyota Industries to focus on goods transport technologies, while Toyota Motor hones its vision to become a global mobility company, moving not just people but also goods, energy, and data.

However, not everyone is cheering the move. Market watchers were caught off guard by the offer price, which came in far below media projections of a $42 billion deal. Investors had expected a 62% premium, not a discount.

As of September 2024, Toyota owned 24% of Toyota Industries, while Toyota Industries held 9% of Toyota Motor and over 5% of Denso, the group’s top-tier parts maker. The buyout will untangle these interlinked stakes, creating a leaner, more focused group strategy.
