TOKYO, Japan - Business Engineering Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Masakazu Haneda; hereinafter "B-EN-G") announced on November 27, 2025 its decision to make a capital investment in BatchLine Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bangkok, Thailand; CEO: David Margetts; hereinafter "BatchLine").

B-EN-G plans to initially subscribe to a third-party allotment of new shares in BatchLine, up to JPY 100 million.

This capital participation will enable both companies to reinforce their system for providing electronic batch manufacturing record solutions, accelerating the Digital Transformation (DX) for LifeScience manufacturers in the global market.

■Background
In the LifeScience manufacturing industry, the digitalization of manufacturing records is an urgent necessity, driven by the critical requirements of data integrity and GMP compliance.
B-EN-G established a partnership with BatchLine in January 2025 and began offering BatchLine's BatchLine MES solution in the Japanese market in March. Through subsequent sales activities, B-EN-G has confirmed the strong market potential of the product, particularly among small to mid-sized LifeScience companies seeking digital solutions for MBR (Master Batch Record) and EBR (Electronic Batch Record) that fit their budget.
Furthermore, with the rapidly expanding demand for LifeScience manufacturing DX in the global market, strengthening deployment in the Asian and Western markets is essential. B-EN-G decided on this strategic capital investment to deepen its partnership with BatchLine and enhance its competitive edge in the global arena.

■Personal statements
"We are truly excited to further deepen our relationship with B-EN-G, having worked alongside them as partners for many years. We understand and appreciate the assets they have in terms of people, solutions, and market access, and look forward to executing our shared vision for new approaches to MES in the pharmaceutical industry together".
