Business Details
Manufactures and sells Commercial-use Detergents & Cleaning Agents, Alcohol Preparations, Disinfectants & Bleach, Solid Fuel, and purchased goods. Main customers include restaurants, lodging facilities, food factories, and food supermarkets. In addition to expanding sales of infection control products and High Value-Added Products (Labor Shortage Solutions), the company is also promoting the development of new channels such as dentistry. As the core segment accounting for approximately 94% of consolidated net sales, profitability has improved due to steady trends in the restaurant market and price revisions and cost reductions.
Recent Overview
Increased sales and profit driven by steady restaurant market trends and price revisions/cost reductions, with operating margin improving to 8.2%
In the Chemical Business for FY2026 (ending May 2026), net sales reached ¥23,267 million (up 4.7% year on year) and operating income reached ¥1,906 million (up 15.7% year on year). Increased demand for detergents from major restaurant chains, expanded sales of high value-added products addressing labor shortages and food poisoning prevention, and the development of new channels such as dentistry all contributed to the increase in sales. On the profit side, in addition to the increase in product sales, price revisions and cost reductions were effective, while personnel and logistics costs were factors reducing profit. The operating margin improved by 0.8 percentage points year on year to 8.2%.
