JAPAY S.A. DE C.V.
JAPAY S.A. de C.V. is a Mexican sociedad anónima de capital variable based in Mexico City, registered with the Mexican tax administration (SAT) under the federal taxpayer number (RFC) JAP950210969. It sells and services cash-handling and office equipment: banknote and coin counters, sorters and detectors, cash recyclers and smart safes, self-service payment kiosks, vacuum packaging machines and document shredders and guillotines. The company’s own website and online-store terms both name JAPAY, S.A. DE C.V. as the operating entity, and its privacy notice gives the RFC JAP950210969.
According to the declarations in a federal service contract signed on 7 November 2018, JAPAY S.A. de C.V. was constituted as a sociedad anónima by public deed 43,488 of 15 December 1976 before Notary 72 of the then Distrito Federal. The company was then called DISTRIBUIDORA JAPAY, S.A. DE C.V. Deed 63,197 of 9 February 1995, before Notary 52 of the Distrito Federal, recorded the change of name to JAPAY, S.A. DE C.V. That change was registered in the Registro Público de Comercio of the Distrito Federal under folio mercantil 21,878 (the last digits are partly covered by a signature on the scanned page). The date element of the RFC, 950210, falls one day after the 1995 name-change deed. It is not the 1976 constitution date.
The same contract gives the commercial address as Avenida Revolución 1209, 5th floor, Colonia Los Alpes, C.P. 01010, Alcaldía Álvaro Obregón, Mexico City. The company’s current privacy notice gives the same street address.
JAPAY S.A. de C.V. has supplied the federal public sector. Under contract SS/002/19 with the Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación, it provided monthly preventive and corrective maintenance of an IDEAL 5009-2CC paper shredder from 1 January to 31 December 2019, for MXN 80,026.08 including VAT. The Tribunal’s file also holds a settlement for the preceding contract, SS/72-18, recording that the December 2018 service was received to the Tribunal’s satisfaction. On its website the company describes nationwide technical support by its own engineers and presents itself as having about 50 years in the market. That claim is consistent with the 1976 deed.
JAPAY S.A. de C.V. is not listed on any stock exchange and has no LEI. No turnover or headcount figure is on the public record. Mexican private companies do not file public accounts.

Officers
Directors and officers of JAPAY S.A. de C.V.
No current board of directors, sole administrator (administrador único) or statutory auditor (comisario) of JAPAY S.A. de C.V. could be established from a public source. The registration file that would record them could not be read.
One office-holder appears in an official document. In a service contract with the Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación signed on 7 November 2018, the company was represented by Daniel Maldonado Martínez as representante legal (legal representative, i.e. a holder of a notarised power of attorney). The contract records his authority as granted by instrument 115,105 of 17 October 2006 before Notary 48 of the Distrito Federal. This is a power of attorney to act for the company, not an appointment as director. The contract states only that the powers had not been revoked at the date of signing. Whether he still holds them could not be established.

Group Structure
Group structure of JAPAY S.A. de C.V.
No parent company or subsidiary of JAPAY S.A. de C.V. could be verified from an official source. The company’s own privacy notice describes Japay S.A. de C.V. together with other companies “under common control” that share its data-protection processes, all referred to collectively as “Japay”. The notice names none of those companies and gives no registration number or ownership link. So the statement shows only that the company says related entities exist. It identifies no parent, subsidiary or sister company, and none is listed here.
JAPAY S.A. de C.V. has no LEI, so the GLEIF parent and child relationship data has nothing to show for it. A GLEIF search on its RFC returned no record, while a control RFC (Bimbo, S.A. de C.V.) returned one.

Recent structural changes
- 9 February 1995: deed 63,197 recorded the change of name from DISTRIBUIDORA JAPAY, S.A. DE C.V. to JAPAY, S.A. DE C.V. This was a change of name of the same legal entity, not a merger or reorganisation (recited in the 2018 Tribunal Electoral contract).
Data availability
Not found. Mexico has no public register of corporate shareholdings, and the Registro Público de Comercio’s SIGER 2.0 system could not be read. The absence of a verified link is not evidence that the company is independent.
