Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ) (Nasdaq:IIJI) (TSE1:3774), one
of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network
solutions providers, today acquired the stocks of Exlayer Global
Inc.("Exlayer Global") from its existing shareholders. Exlayer
Global is a holding company with overseas subsidiaries in the
system integration industry. The newly acquired company will begin
its operation as IIJ's subsidiary under the name IIJ Exlayer
Inc.
Exlayer Global owns five overseas subsidiaries and has developed
its business with high engineering skills in the SI and IT project
management fields and with its reliabilities. Their strength lies
in their business development ability in many countries, and with
its strong presence among Japanese-owned local corporations,
Exlayer Global has been steadily expanding its business.
IIJ, together with IIJ Global Solutions Inc., one of its
subsidiaries, is expanding its overseas offices mainly in Asia and
is accelerating its global business development by providing
services such as Cloud services in the United States, China, and
Asia. For IIJ Group to further accelerate its global business, IIJ
has decided to make Exlayer Global its subsidiary. We believe the
expertise and human resources that Exlayer global and its group
companies had built could better help IIJ Group to accelerate its
international business development.
IIJ Exlayer will continue to leverage IIJ Group's Cloud services
and wide range of network solutions to strengthen business
infrastructure in foreign countries and leads IIJ Group's
international business development together with IIJ and IIJ
Global.
