Business Details
Manufactures and sells pigments and secondary-processed pigment products, focusing on Pigments & Colorants for Fibers, colorants for plastics, resin compounds, Pigment Dispersions, and Functional Materials. Supplies a wide range of industries including IT & electronics, transportation equipment, and building materials. This is the largest segment, accounting for approximately 55% of total group sales, and is characterized by its broad global footprint including local subsidiaries in Thailand, India, Taiwan, and other locations.
Recent Overview
Higher sales and profit driven by strength in IT/electronics and transportation equipment; operating profit up 32.1% year on year
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales rose to ¥69,050 million (up 2.6% year on year) and operating profit increased to ¥4,140 million (up 32.1% year on year), representing higher sales and profit. In the IT & electronics industry, pigments and dispersions for LCD displays performed well due to increased sales of new products, and pigments and colorants for office equipment and commercial printing also performed well. In the transportation equipment industry, domestic performance recovered along with the recovery in automobile production, and overseas, local subsidiaries in Thailand, India, and Taiwan performed well, while sales to China and North America remained sluggish.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued strong performance expected from increased sales of new pigment and dispersion products for LCD displays
- Recovery in compounds and colorants driven by the recovery in domestic automobile production
- Strong performance at overseas locations, centered on local subsidiaries in Thailand, India, and Taiwan
- Growth in inkjet pigments and dispersion liquids for industrial and commercial printing driven by ongoing digitalization
- Focused investment in the IT & electronics functional materials field based on the medium-term management plan "Transformation for Tomorrow 2027"
Risks
- Risk of continued sluggish demand from China and North America (for home appliances/OA equipment and vehicle applications)
- Risk of demand fluctuation for transportation equipment applications due to poor sales of automobile models in which the company's products are used
- Risk of loss of business rights for pigments used in LCD color filters
- Risk of cost pressure from rising raw material prices
- Impact on yen-translated results of overseas subsidiaries due to exchange rate fluctuations (yen depreciation/appreciation)
- Impact on raw material procurement and pricing due to worsening Middle East conditions (currently difficult to reasonably estimate)
