IHI (TYO:7013) will transfer all shares of its subsidiary IHI Construction Materials to Vertex Corp. (TYO:5290) on Oct. 1, according to a Thursday filing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

The transfer price was not disclosed but was determined through a fair process, the filing said.

IHI Construction Materials, which makes concrete products for infrastructure projects like tunnels and subways, has faced growing competition and changing market demands.
