Since 1989, Takenaka Partners has been a leader in strategic cross-border, middle-market M&A for Japanese corporations expanding operations to the United States. Our longevity stems from our ability to successfully guide our clients through every critical phase of the M&A advisory process.
Successful M&A is strategic, proactive, and brings people together around a shared goal.
We are a multilingual and multicultural team with strong cultural fluency. Combined with our deep expertise, we help improve the likelihood of a successful acquisition while reducing transactional risk.
We have a 36-year track record for helping Japanese corporations find and acquire middle-market companies and establish long-term success in the United States.
We have honed our years of practice into a signature methodology that no other middle-market consulting firm can match. Explore the TPL Methodology →
Large investment banks are not built to serve middle-market acquisitions. Our sole focus is serving the middle-market. We have specialized resources to help our clients complete successful transactions.
We believe that successful M&A brings people together around a shared goal and view every engagement as a true partnership.
We’ve successfully operated through 7 U.S. presidential administrations, 32 Japanese prime minister cabinets, 4 U.S. recessions, and 6 Japanese economic downturns.
