Business Details
Comprised of three divisions: Apparel Fabric (fashion, sports, and functional materials), Industrial Materials Fabric (vehicle-related and lifestyle-related materials, etc.), and Products Business. Provides high-value-added, environmentally friendly materials to domestic and overseas customers, with European luxury brands, Middle Eastern traditional garments, and North American fashion being major overseas demand sources. This core business accounts for approximately 99% of consolidated net sales.
Recent Overview
Increased sales and profit driven by overseas apparel fabric; new material launches and logistics center operations also progressed.
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), Textile Business net sales were ¥41,063 million (up from ¥39,015 million in the prior period), and segment profit was ¥2,432 million (up from ¥2,090 million in the prior period). Growth was driven by fashion applications for European luxury brands, North American fashion, and materials for Middle Eastern traditional garments. The Industrial Materials Fabric division saw increased orders in lifestyle-related materials, while the Products Business achieved increased sales through business expansion via consolidation of a subsidiary. New products "QUATTRONI TK" and "TINTORIANA" were launched. The second logistics center began operations in September, and factory reorganization and capital investment continued. Meanwhile, elevated raw material, fuel, and electricity costs continued to pressure profitability.
