TOKYO, Apr 30 (Pulse News Wire) – Glome Holdings,inc. (8938.T) announced today that its board of directors has approved the launch of a grid battery storage business aimed at stabilizing power systems and capitalizing on growing renewable energy adoption.
The decision comes amid efforts to stabilize earnings and ensure sustainable growth following recent operating losses and fluctuating revenue environments in its healthcare-related businesses. The company plans to invest approximately ¥7.5 billion in the initial facility, which is expected to commence operations on September 1, 2026. The project involves acquiring existing facilities that have secured necessary permits and are nearing completion, thereby reducing development risks and facilitating early returns on investment. To manage the venture, GLOME will establish multiple special purpose companies (SPCs).
In some cases, its subsidiary Fukuyama Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. will also handle investments. Initially, external experts familiar with the sector will be contracted to oversee operations, while GLOME employees will take on dual roles. Looking ahead, GLOME anticipates disclosing further details once specific projects are finalized.
Any impacts on the fiscal year ending March 2027 will be communicated promptly upon determination.
