HOYA Corporation has reached an agreement with Marunouchi Capital Fund III (the “Fund”), managed by Marunouchi Capital Inc. (“MCAP”), to transfer all ReadSpeaker business. MCAP is a private equity firm established in 2008 and fully owned by Mitsubishi Corporation. The transaction is scheduled to close on October 31, 2025.
This marks an important milestone in ReadSpeaker’s journey. With the support of MCAP and the broader Mitsubishi Corporation Group, ReadSpeaker expects to accelerate its growth and strengthen its leadership in Education, Industrial, and Gaming – three segments where our voice solutions continue to transform user experiences.
After closing, together with MCAP, we will pursue a clear strategy to scale globally, expand our offerings, and continue delivering the quality, reliability, and creativity our customers and partners expect.
Since 2017, ReadSpeaker has benefited greatly from the support of HOYA, and we are grateful for their role in our success. As we enter this new chapter, we build on our entrepreneurial foundation with the added resources, expertise, and global reach of Marunouchi Capital and the Mitsubishi Group network.
This change enhances how we serve our customers and partners, strengthening our ability to innovate, scale, and create more impactful solutions together.
