Business Details
The core manufacturing business of the Seiko Group. It focuses on the manufacture and sale of packaging machinery (liquid filling lines, filling and capping machines, etc.) and maintenance services, with sales also conducted through the subsidiary Nihon Kikai Shoji Co., Ltd., sterilization equipment and food processing machinery through Econos Japan Co., Ltd., and Industrial Machinery & FA Systems through Kyowa Tech Co., Ltd. Main customers are in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Orders for large-scale liquid filling lines, driven by labor-saving and production efficiency needs, are a growth driver.
Recent Overview
Sharp increase in both sales and profit driven by large-scale order wins and high factory utilization
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), the Industrial Machinery Business achieved substantial growth in sales and profit, with sales of ¥9,527 million (up 27.3% year on year) and segment profit of ¥1,502 million (up 41.3% year on year). Strengthening of the sales organization through active investment in human capital advanced deepening of relationships with existing customers, and orders for large-scale liquid filling lines for the food industry remained solid. Medium and small machines for the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries also grew. Maintaining high factory utilization and cost reductions through productivity improvement and internal efficiency absorbed cost increases, improving profitability.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued investment in labor-saving and production efficiency improvement against a backdrop of persistently high raw material and labor costs in the food and cosmetics industries
- Improved factory utilization and profitability from increased orders for large-scale liquid filling lines
- Deepening of existing customer relationships and growth in orders for medium and small machines through strengthened sales organization
- Enhanced proposals for automation and labor-saving equipment for upstream and downstream processes centered on liquid filling machines
- Strengthening of the stable revenue base through expansion of maintenance services
Risks
- Risk of order fluctuations due to more cautious capital expenditure decisions in the food and toiletries industries, the main customer base
- Cost increases from rising raw material and labor costs and difficulty passing these on through price increases
- Impact on customers' capital expenditure plans from US trade policy and geopolitical risks
- Risk of lost order opportunities due to constraints on production lead time
- Intensifying competition in the Asian market and an unestablished business foundation for overseas expansion
