Comnext, Inc. was established in 2007 as a joint venture between Zionex and the Japanese company Comtec to provide production scheduling solutions and open-source enterprise applications to clients in Japan. The company operated as a vehicle for delivering Zionex's supply chain management (SCM) expertise and T3Series software solutions within the Japanese market.
In 2013, the joint venture concluded when Comtec withdrew and sold its remaining shares of Comnext to Zionex. Following this acquisition, Comnext was renamed Zionex Japan (ザイオネックス株式会社) and became a subsidiary of the Korea-based Zionex, Inc. Today, Zionex Japan continues to specialize in manufacturing IT consulting, as well as the development and sales of SCM and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems like PlanNEL and Dynamic Task Manager for the Japanese market.
