Business Details

A business that designs, manufactures, and sells special precision parts and tools using hard and brittle materials such as diamond, cemented carbide, and ceramics. Main products include nozzles and mounting head peripheral parts for electronic component mounting machines, key components for industrial machine tools, and wear-resistant tools. Major customers are in the electronic components industry, automotive parts manufacturers, the bearing industry, and the semiconductor manufacturing industry. The company is also advancing mass production sales of mounting machine nozzles made from new materials and pursuing new entry into the semiconductor manufacturing field.

Recent Overview

Sales increased slightly, but the segment fell from profit to a loss due to tariffs and the China slowdown

Net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥741 million (up 4.8% year on year), representing an increase in sales. However, due to the impact of increased U.S. automotive tariffs and the slowdown in the Chinese economy, sales to the electronic components industry, the bearing industry, and automotive parts manufacturers were sluggish, resulting in a segment loss of ¥38 million (versus segment profit of ¥29 million in the prior year), a deterioration in profitability. On the other hand, mass production sales of mounting machine nozzles made from new materials increased steadily, and the company also began business with new customers in the semiconductor manufacturing field.

Key Products

product
Diamond Nozzle (for mounting machines)

Nozzles used in electronic component mounting machines (mounters). Full-scale mass production sales of mounting machine nozzles made from new materials began in earnest this fiscal year, and sales have increased steadily.

product
Wear-resistant Tools (Diamond Parts)

Wear-resistant tools sold to the bearing industry and to automotive parts manufacturers via trading companies. In the current fiscal year, sales were sluggish due to the impact of increased U.S. automotive tariffs and the slowdown in the Chinese economy.

product
Precision Parts (Collets, etc.)

Precision parts such as collets supplied to the electronic components industry. Sales were sluggish this fiscal year due to the impact of the slowdown in the Chinese economy.

product
Nozzle Cleaning Equipment

Equipment used for cleaning and maintaining mounting machine nozzles. Developed as a peripheral product of the precision parts business.

product
Micro Reactor System

A micro reactor system for chemical reaction applications, a product that applies special precision processing technology.

Growth Drivers

  • Sales expansion driven by full-scale mass production sales of mounting machine nozzles made from new materials
  • Expansion of orders from automotive parts manufacturers through trading company channels
  • New entry into the semiconductor manufacturing industry and acquisition of new customers
  • Capturing precision parts processing demand amid competitors exiting the business or closing operations
  • Next fiscal year's net sales are expected to increase 21.3% from ¥741 million to ¥900 million

Risks

  • Impact on sales to automotive parts manufacturers from increased U.S. automotive tariffs
  • Sluggish sales to the electronic components industry and bearing industry due to the slowdown in the Chinese economy
  • Risk of delayed recovery in orders for mainstay products (wear-resistant tools and mounting machine nozzles)
  • Decline in demand related to electronic component mounting due to the slump in the semiconductor market
  • Full-year consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) anticipates a significant decline in revenue, with net sales of ¥1,300 million (down 53.0% year on year) and an operating loss of ¥160 million, indicating that the challenging segment environment is expected to continue
