Business Details
The "Japan" segment is the manufacturing base that produces the majority of the Group's products, and in addition to domestic sales, it handles direct sales of printing presses for Central and South America, part of Asia, and overseas security printing presses. The Company itself and Seria Corporation, among others, are responsible for sales, offering a wide range of products including offset printing presses, security printing presses, and digital printing presses. It is a core segment accounting for approximately 47% of the Group's total sales to external customers.
Recent Overview
Achieved sales growth of 5.2% and segment profit growth of 37.0%.
In the "Japan" segment for FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales increased significantly to ¥87,044 million (up 5.2% year on year) and segment profit rose to ¥9,637 million (up 37.0% year on year). Domestically, demand for offset sheet-fed printing presses aimed at rationalization and labor-saving investment remained steady, while offset web printing presses saw a decline reflecting a rebound from the prior period. Progress in delivery of security printing presses and large offset sheet-fed printing presses for North America, along with increased sales to other regions, boosted overall segment profitability. The Company also launched the new product "LITHRONE GX29 advance" and strengthened its service structure with the opening of the contact center.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued recognition of sales from ultra-long-term service provision and ongoing large orders to government-related institutions in the security printing press business
- Steady trend in demand for energy-saving, rationalization, and labor-saving investment in the domestic offset market
- Expansion of orders in the package printing field through the market launch of high value-added machines including the LITHRONE GX29 advance
- Diversification of revenue sources through growth businesses such as the DPS business (J-throne 29) and PE business
- Realization of the smart factory vision centered on KP-Connect, supporting customer productivity improvement
- Strengthened after-sales service and improved customer satisfaction through the opening of the contact center
- Expansion of sales to agency regions such as Asia and Central and South America (sales in "Others" region up 21.1% year on year)
Risks
- High value-added machines such as multi-color and duplex printing presses have long production lead times, resulting in a significant time lag between order receipt and sales recognition
- With a high overseas sales ratio and manufacturing bases concentrated in Japan, a stronger yen has a significant impact on profitability
- Long-term risk of shrinking demand for offset printing presses for publishing and commercial printing due to the spread of electronic media
- Impact on production and delivery schedules if constraints on the supply of electronic components and semiconductors recur
- Prolonged geopolitical risks (Ukraine and Middle East situations) and deteriorating capital investment sentiment due to US tariff policy
- Possibility that the expanding loss in the Europe segment (segment loss of ¥1,919 million) could affect the profitability of the Japan segment through internal transactions
- Downward pressure on internal sales (inter-segment transfers) due to an economic slowdown in the Greater China market
