FPT to take over Nippon Seiki's Gdansk software unit and its roughly 50 engineers

Nippon Seiki told the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s disclosure service on September 2 that its consolidated subsidiary Nippon Seiki (Europe) B.V. had signed a contract to transfer its software development business to FPT Poland Sp. z o.o. The contract was signed on September 1 and the transfer is scheduled to take effect on October 2. The Japanese company classed the notice as a voluntary disclosure, stating that the matter did not meet the exchange’s timely disclosure requirements but that it judged the information useful.

The filing described the transferred business as in-vehicle embedded software development, based in Gdansk, with approximately 50 people moving across. It gave the transfer price as non-disclosed under a confidentiality agreement with the counterparty, and withheld the unit’s earnings and assets on the same basis. Nippon Seiki placed the sale within a mid-term plan running to March 2027 whose stated aims include securing growth and improving profitability in its head-up display business, partly through site reorganization.

FPT Japan Holdings published its own account on September 2, adding a business alliance basic agreement with Nippon Seiki alongside the transfer. Its release covered five areas, among them in-vehicle software development, product engineering, platform development, and the succession and operation of the Poland organization. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding on strategic collaboration in July 2023 and built offshore development centers in Hanoi and Da Nang.

FPT Poland was registered in Gdansk on July 22, 2026, with capital of 4,000,000 zloty and Ta Tran Minh as managing director. Its declared scope covers head-up display software development and verification, automotive display and human-machine interface engineering, requirements management, test and quality assurance, and toolchain operation, with engineering services to European manufacturers and suppliers named as a future step.
