Business Details
Comprises three businesses: the Interior business (interior construction equipment, tools, and auxiliary materials such as the Automatic Wallpaper Pasting Machine), the Tatami business (tatami manufacturing equipment, tools, and auxiliary materials such as the Computerized Tatami Manufacturing System), and the Solution & Network business (the estimate/billing management cloud tool "Goolip", digital printers, etc.). Its main customers are interior construction contractors and tatami shops. In the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026), net sales accounted for 64.1% of the consolidated total, making it the largest segment, but the segment fell into an operating loss due to the disappearance of last-minute demand in the Interior business and increased costs such as for publishing the comprehensive catalog.
Recent Overview
The Interior business deteriorated due to the disappearance of last-minute demand and increased catalog publishing costs, widening the segment's operating loss
In the interim period of FY2026 (ending September 2026) (October 2025 to March 2026), the Professional segment recorded net sales of ¥3,357 million (down 4.9% year on year) and an operating loss of ¥63 million (compared to operating income of ¥28 million in the same period of the prior year). In the Interior business, sales declined compared to the same period of the prior year, when last-minute demand occurred ahead of a price revision for the Automatic Wallpaper Pasting Machine, and profitability deteriorated significantly due to the costs of publishing the comprehensive catalog (Vol. 17) and the impact of rising prices. The Tatami business continues to show a loss-making trend due to the effects of a lull in subsidy approvals, but performance has begun to recover.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Launch of new products and demand stimulation through the comprehensive catalog (Vol. 17), whose distribution began in February 2026 (Interior business)
- Promotion of planned sales of rationalization equipment for major wallpaper manufacturers' distribution warehouses (Interior business)
- Early recovery of the Tatami business through structural reform proposal sales to tatami shops, online sales of tools, and use of social media
- Development of new projects for tatami manufacturing equipment leveraging the "Subsidy for Labor-Saving Investment by SMEs"
- Expansion of cloud services in the S&N business and promotion of bundled sales of digital printers with original Japanese-pattern content
Risks
- Suppressed demand in the Interior business due to continued sluggishness in the housing-related market (persistently high construction costs, rising mortgage rates)
- Decline in sales year on year due to the disappearance of last-minute demand that occurred ahead of the price revision for the Automatic Wallpaper Pasting Machine
- Prolonged sluggishness in the Tatami business due to a significant decrease in the number of approved subsidies (such as the Manufacturing Subsidy) for tatami manufacturing equipment
- Pressure on profitability from continued increases in raw material and merchandise procurement costs and higher promotional expenses such as for publishing the comprehensive catalog
- Risk that the S&N business has not yet reached the scale necessary for business operations, resulting in continued upfront investment burden
- Structural risk in which the segment as a whole continues to record an operating loss, with fluctuations in the Interior business's performance directly affecting segment profit/loss
