Comment from Kenzo Hattori, Representative Director of SEVENRICH CAPITAL Co., Ltd.
We are extremely pleased to welcome Gram Inc., which has been creating spaces with its unique worldview centered on interior design, as a new member of the SEVENRICH GROUP.
During our conversations with President Umemura, I was deeply impressed by his sincere commitment to expressing clients' brands and ideas through space with the power of design, and his integrity in meticulously handling each project. This naturally aligns with our own value of "making people involved happy," and I feel a great significance in working together this time.
Furthermore, we decided to proceed with this participation with the aim of contributing to the further expansion of the creative organizational culture and high level of expertise that President Umemura has built.
I believe Gram's strengths lie not only in interior design but also in its broad expertise encompassing architectural design direction and product design, as well as its high creative ability to embody clients' worldviews in space.
Their track record of enhancing brand value through diverse spaces such as stores, offices, and showrooms is truly essential for many companies. The power of design is directly linked to business competitiveness, and I believe it is a事業 with significant social meaning.
Going forward, as SEVENRICH GROUP, we will provide multifaceted support to enable Gram to achieve further business growth, including creating new customer touchpoints through our group network, recruiting specialized personnel such as space designers, and strengthening financial and corporate functions. We will work to create an environment where management and designers can focus more on creative work.
We view M&A not merely as a transfer of capital, but as the beginning of a partnership with shared aspirations. While respecting the corporate culture and design philosophy that have been cherished, we will combine our group's strengths to create new growth together.
We hope to continue working with executives who wish to "further advance their business while preserving its current strengths" and "confidently entrust the next generation to a reliable partner."

Since founding Gram with the aspiration to pursue a career in design, I have valued expressing clients' intentions in space in the most optimal way, and have proceeded with sincerity in each project.
To achieve further growth as a company and build a sustainable organization, I recognized the necessity of expanding new customer touchpoints in addition to strengthening recruitment and our management foundation, which led to the decision to participate in SEVENRICH GROUP.
Through discussions with President Hattori and the SEVENRICH GROUP team, I became convinced that they would work with us to build the foundation necessary for business growth, including management, recruitment, and corporate systems, while respecting the creative corporate culture we have cherished. I feel that this partnership will allow Gram to advance to the next stage.
This capital alliance marks a new start for Gram to deliver valuable spaces to more clients.
