Business Details
This segment sells reuse products such as repack toner, OA supplies products such as toner cartridges, and stationery & office supplies / office furniture. KTK Corporation operates its own manufacturing-and-direct-sales reuse products, supported by consolidated subsidiaries Seiun Crown Co., Ltd. (stationery/OA equipment) and Kitabutsu Chubu Co., Ltd.

Positioned as a foundational business in the medium-term management plan "Growth Plan 2027," this segment plays the role of channeling cash generated from improved profitability of proprietary reuse products into the IT Solutions Business.
Recent Overview
Achieved higher revenue and profit driven by stable reuse product demand and new customer acquisition
In the cumulative Q3 period of FY2026 (ending August 2026) (August 21, 2025 to May 20, 2026), net sales reached ¥11,503 million (up 5.4% year on year) and segment profit reached ¥727 million (up 16.2% year on year). In addition to stable reuse product demand amid growing corporate sustainability awareness, a focus on new sales activities and the differentiating advantage of the integrated manufacturing-and-direct-sales system and quality control capabilities amid reuse toner market consolidation supported the expansion of proprietary product sales. The profit margin improved from 5.7% in the same period of the prior year to 6.3%.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Steady reuse product demand underpinned by growing corporate sustainability awareness
- Advantage of the stable supply and quality control system under the manufacturing-and-direct-sales model amid ongoing reuse toner market consolidation
- Expansion of sales of proprietary products (high-margin reuse products) through focused new sales activities
- Development of a customer-participatory circular system through the "Sustainable Partner Program" utilizing the proprietary e-commerce site "YORIDORI"
- Cross-selling into the IT Solutions Business leveraging the Supplies Business customer base (utilization and strengthening of the customer base)
Risks
- Medium- to long-term declining trend in printing demand due to progress in paperless operations and business digitization
- Shrinking trend in the printer consumables and stationery/office supplies markets due to the spread of remote work
- Cost pressure from persistently high raw material prices and energy costs
- Impact on procurement costs from the continuing yen depreciation trend
- Risk of changes in the competitive environment accompanying reuse toner market consolidation
