Business Details
The Domestic segment manufactures and sells Work Tools (Hand Tools such as spanners and wrenches) and Torque Control Equipment/bolt fastening equipment (Shear Wrench, Nutrunner, Tatekata Ichiban, etc.). Major customers are distribution and trading company channels such as TRUSCO NAKAYAMA, Amazon Japan, and Yamazen. The segment is composed of two pillars: equipment for the construction and bridge markets and work tools for the general tool market, and is the core segment accounting for approximately 80% of consolidated net sales.
Recent Overview
Both work tools and equipment saw increased sales, with a significant improvement in margins
In the Domestic segment for FY2026 (ending March 2026)... (fiscal period per source: fiscal year ending May 2026), net sales reached ¥6,271 million (up 3.4% year on year) and segment profit reached ¥734 million (up 37.7% year on year). Work tools achieved increased sales as sales campaigns, expansion of sales channels, and branding activities aimed at the motorsports market bore fruit. Equipment saw increased sales, secured through strengthened sales activities targeting the manufacturing industry, despite sluggish demand in the construction and bridge markets due to soaring material costs and labor shortages. Operating margin improved significantly from 8.8% in the prior period to 11.7%.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Sales promotion of work tools through original set products and sales campaigns
- Ongoing brand penetration activities for the TONE brand through motorsports sponsorship
- New market development and sales expansion activities for Torque Control Equipment and Nutrunner targeting the manufacturing industry
- Continued construction demand centered on large-scale properties in the greater Tokyo metropolitan area
- Improved profitability through enhanced production efficiency and cost reduction
Risks
- Slowdown in construction demand purchasing due to soaring material costs and rising labor costs (significant impact on equipment)
- Slowdown in work tool sales due to cost-conscious behavior among consumers and companies amid inflation
- Delays in construction work due to labor shortages (postponement of demand for Shear Wrench, Tatekata Ichiban, etc.)
- High dependence on sales to major customers (such as TRUSCO NAKAYAMA), making the segment susceptible to changes in trading terms
- Deterioration in domestic economic sentiment due to US tariff policy and geopolitical risks
