April 17, 2025 – In a significant move within the manufacturing and supply chain sector, Fictiv, an AI-driven global supply chain technology company, has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Japan-based MISUMI Group Inc. for $350 million in an all-cash transaction.
The acquisition marks a strategic alignment aimed at combining Fictiv’s AI-native digital manufacturing platform with MISUMI’s robust physical infrastructure to deliver an integrated global manufacturing ecosystem. Once the transaction closes, Fictiv will officially join MISUMI.
“Fictiv and MISUMI share a joint vision to make access to world-class manufacturing & supply chain capabilities easier, more accessible, more intelligent, and democratized,” said Dave Evans, Co-Founder & CEO of Fictiv.
Founded in San Francisco, Fictiv has delivered over 35 million parts for commercial and prototype use across sectors like aerospace, robotics, clean energy, automotive, and more. Their AI-driven workflows, global manufacturing centers (in the U.S., India, Mexico, and China), and expert teams have made it easier for companies to scale products efficiently and affordably.
For MISUMI, a company recognized for its precision mechanical components and its digital tools powering custom manufacturing, this acquisition expands its reach into intelligent sourcing and supply chain innovation.
“This acquisition will enable us to turbocharge our mission to simplify sourcing,” said Nate Evans, Co-Founder & CXO of Fictiv.
J.P. Morgan acted as financial advisor and Morrison & Foerster LLP provided legal counsel to Fictiv. SMBC Nikko Securities and Clifford Chance LLP advised MISUMI.
The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
