Dear Team DDCN,
Today, I am both proud and excited to share an important development in the journey of Developmental Disability Center of Nebraska (DDCN). We have agreed to a merger with LITALICO Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Fumihiro Yamaguchi; TSE Ticker Code: 7366), a distinguished leader in our industry. This strategic move is set to transform our company as DDCN becomes a consolidated subsidiary under LITALICO.
This decision has been made after thoughtful consideration. This merger represents a union between two organizations deeply committed to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. By uniting our strengths, we are set to achieve greater innovation, broaden our services, and deepen our impact within the community.
About LITALICO Inc.
Founded in 2005, LITALICO is a pioneer in supporting individuals with disabilities through a wide range of services, including learning, vocational training, living assistance, and nursing care. They operate over 300 facilities in Japan and manage leading online platforms like LITALICO Development Navi and LITALICO Work Navi. Their commitment aligns seamlessly with our values and mission.
Continued Leadership and Commitment
I want to assure you that I will remain as your CEO and am committed to leading us through this exciting new chapter. My dedication to our team, our mission, and the services we provide remains unchanged. I am fully engaged in ensuring a smooth integration of our teams and will continue to champion our unique company culture. The best is indeed yet to come.
Our Journey and Our Future
Building DDCN alongside each of you has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Deciding to merge was not easy, but it promises a future filled with opportunities—for our clients, our team, and our community. I am incredibly excited about what we will achieve together and am eager to introduce you all to our new family at LITALICO.
Thank you for your dedication, hard work, and trust. The strength of our team and the impact we have made together have brought us to this moment. As we embark on this exciting journey, let's continue to inspire, support, and innovate for a better tomorrow.
