Buffalo Inc. and Bitkey Inc. will enter into a capital and business alliance effective Friday, August 8, 2025. By combining the capabilities of both companies, Buffalo and Bitkey aim to create synergies between the two companies and improve their corporate value over the medium to long term.
By combining the capabilities of Buffalo and Bitkey, we aim to create synergies and increase corporate value in the medium to long term. We will begin our collaboration by providing support for the implementation (installation, construction, and maintenance) of smart locks and other products, which are essential for the widespread use of Bitkey’s products, and build a stable, high-quality service infrastructure.
Going forward, we will continue to discuss expanding the scope of our collaboration, including cooperation in the area of quality assurance, leveraging our manufacturing expertise, and the joint development of new products and services that combine the technologies of both companies.

Under the corporate slogan “Value Chain Engineering,” Buffalo not only provides IT hardware products, but also strives to create intangible added value through its IT hardware-related engineering activities, such as services and solutions. In recent years,
smart locks have become increasingly popular in a wide range of locations, including homes, office buildings, airport facilities, and government buildings, and their importance as social infrastructure, requiring stable operation 24/7, 365 days a year, is growing. Bitkey has continued to grow rapidly under its mission and vision of “Connecting. Empowering people to be more free.” However, building a robust nationwide maintenance system was a key management challenge. To address this challenge, we believe that by providing our group’s value chain, particularly our manufacturing quality control capabilities, and our subsidiary Buffalo IT Solutions’ nationwide service network, we can accelerate Bitkey’s growth, expand the businesses of both companies, and enhance their corporate value. This led to this capital and business alliance.
