H.H.Galaxy, a fully integrated e-commerce operations service provider, announced it will acquire a 30% stake in Brangista Solution, the e-commerce operations support subsidiary of Tokyo-listed Brangista Inc., for ¥480 million (approximately NT$95 million) using its own funds. Brangista Solution has deep roots in Japanese e-commerce spanning over 20 years, with an operating scale covering approximately 600 companies and 3,000 e-commerce websites, annual gross merchandise volume exceeding ¥40 billion, and official partner status with TikTok Shop Japan. The investment deepens the relationship between the two companies from operational collaboration to a capital alliance. H.H.Galaxy will combine Brangista Solution’s local Japanese resources with its own operating network across Taiwan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia, creating a two-way model of “bringing Japanese brands to Asia.” Combined with its July investment in Southeast Asian operator aCommerce, H.H.Galaxy’s Asian footprint is taking clearer shape.
Key Elements
H.H.Galaxy (2949.TW), a fully integrated e-commerce operations service provider, has taken another step forward in its overseas expansion. The company announced on the 27th that its board of directors resolved to acquire a 30% stake in Brangista Solution, the e-commerce operations support subsidiary of Tokyo-listed Brangista Inc. (6176), for ¥480 million (approximately NT$95 million) using its own funds.
Brangista Solution has been deeply engaged in Japanese e-commerce operations for over 20 years and was also H.H.Galaxy’s joint venture partner when the Taiwanese company established its Japanese subsidiary, HHGalaxy Japan K.K., in 2024. This move deepens the relationship between the two companies from operational collaboration to a capital alliance, allowing H.H.Galaxy to strengthen its local Japanese client base, platform relationships, and e-commerce operational resources while integrating with its existing footprint in Taiwan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia to accelerate the establishment of a cross-market brand operating network across Asia.
Japan represents a major and mature e-commerce market in Asia. According to the latest data from Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan’s B2C e-commerce market reached ¥26.1 trillion (approximately NT$5.2 trillion) in 2024, up 5.1% year-over-year, with e-commerce penetration rising to 9.8%, indicating continued long-term growth potential. H.H.Galaxy stated that entering Japan is not simply about adding an overseas presence, but rather about combining the country’s mature brands, channels, and operational resources to build local capabilities that can serve the cross-market needs of international brands.
Target Company Boasts Considerable Operating Scale
Brangista Solution operates within the group structure of Brangista Inc., listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, and NEXYZ.Group (4346). The company has built a substantial Japanese e-commerce operating infrastructure, having supported over 2,000 enterprises cumulatively. Its current operating scale encompasses approximately 600 companies and 3,000 e-commerce websites, with service platforms including Rakuten Ichiba, Yahoo! Shopping, and Amazon, serving all of Japan from bases in Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
The company’s service offerings span sales strategy, advertising placement, data analytics, customer service, and order processing. Its proprietary cross-platform unified management system has earned Rakuten RMS certified partner status, and its annual gross merchandise volume exceeds ¥40 billion (approximately NT$7.9 billion).
Beyond traditional e-commerce operations, the company has been actively expanding into content and interest-based commerce in recent years. In July 2025, it was certified as an official TikTok Shop Japan partner, providing one-stop services ranging from store setup, short-form video production, and logistics to influencer management, with access to a creator network boasting a combined follower base exceeding 540 million. The group has also established presence in Taiwan and Hong Kong to help Japanese products expand into Asian markets through TikTok Shop.
This direction strongly aligns with H.H.Galaxy’s strategy earlier this year to acquire a live-streaming sales platform and enter the live commerce and interest-based e-commerce space. Going forward, the two companies have significant room for further integration and mutual replication in areas such as short-form video, content-driven commerce, live-stream e-commerce, and cross-border sales.
A Two-Way Model Takes Shape
H.H.Galaxy noted that with the 30% stake, it can leverage Brangista Solution’s Japanese client base and platform operating expertise to accelerate local expansion, while also offering its own operating network across Taiwan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia to Japanese brands. This transforms the collaboration from “bringing overseas brands into Japan” into a two-way model of “bringing Japanese brands to Asia.”
Looking at the company’s moves over the past two years, H.H.Galaxy’s overseas strategy has shifted from “establishing subsidiaries” to “building a regional operating network through strategic investments.” Its Philippine subsidiary has already taken on multiple international brands and achieved monthly profitability, with 2025 revenue growing nearly sixfold compared to the prior year. In July of this year, the company made a strategic investment of US$13.5 million (approximately NT$430 million) in aCommerce, a Southeast Asian brand operations service provider with operations spanning Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines, operating nine logistics centers and over 32 live-streaming studios, serving more than 220 brands.
With the addition of the Japan deal, H.H.Galaxy has effectively filled in local resources for both the Southeast Asian and Japanese markets in short order, bringing its Asian footprint into clearer focus.
H.H.Galaxy General Manager Huang Huai-en stated that the biggest obstacle for brands expanding overseas is often not the lack of e-commerce platforms, but the lack of operating teams familiar with local markets, platforms, and supply chains. He noted that H.H.Galaxy does not intend to start from scratch in every market, but rather to form alliances with local partners that have scale and proven track records, then inject its own AI, data, and brand operating capabilities.
Huang further explained that the goal is to enable brands to deploy across multiple Asian markets through a single window, while also helping Japanese and Southeast Asian brands enter Taiwan, creating cross-market customer referrals and cross-selling opportunities. What H.H.Galaxy is doing is not merely overseas expansion, but connecting individual markets into an Asian brand operating network.
On the operational front, H.H.Galaxy posted consolidated revenue of NT$3.15 billion in the first half of this year, up 22.82% year-over-year, setting a new record high for the same period. The company stated that the next phase will advance overseas markets and AI applications in parallel, continuing to integrate customer, talent, platform, and supply chain resources across Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and Southeast Asia, progressively transforming from a Taiwanese fully integrated e-commerce operations service provider into an “Asia AI Retail Infrastructure” serving the broader Asian market over the long term.
