Blackstone is preparing to acquire TechnoPro Holdings, one of Japan’s largest engineering staffing firms, in a deal valued at approximately $3.4bn (¥500bn), according to a report from the Nikkei business daily.

The private equity giant is expected to launch a tender offer soon, with an offer price just under ¥4,900 per share.

The acquisition would represent one of Blackstone’s most significant investments in Japan and underscores the firm’s continued expansion in Asia’s professional services and human capital sectors.

TechnoPro, listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, specialises in supplying highly skilled engineering talent across a range of industries including manufacturing, electronics, and IT.

The transaction comes amid growing private equity interest in Japan, driven by attractive valuations and shareholder-friendly reforms encouraging corporate restructuring and strategic buyouts.

Blackstone has yet to issue an official comment on the reported deal.
