Building upon 20 years of operating across Asia, NES Fircroft (NES) is pleased to announce that on the 19th April we completed the acquisition of Japanese employment advisers Polarities Co. Ltd. (Polarities)

[Tokyo Japan, 19th April 2023] – NES, a leading global provider of workforce solutions to diversified engineering end markets, provides a range of contract and permanent talent solutions to the Energy market globally and already has a significant presence working with LNG and renewable energy providers in Japan. Polarities has a wealth of experience and track record in Japan having operated locally in Tokyo for more than two decades providing advisory and outsourcing services to clients across various industries including staffing. 

The combination of NES’s recruitment capabilities and Polarities’ proven track record with Japanese statutory and operational requirements provides a potent capability for international companies seeking employment solutions in Japan as well as Japanese companies seeking local/international talent or seeking support outside Japan. The new combined entity in Japan provides fully compliant solutions provided by an in-house experienced team of staffing and payroll professionals. The team’s expertise transcends the full gambit of skill sets required across the energy transition industries, from traditional LNG to renewable and alternative energy sources.
