Business Details
The segment's mainstay products are Recorders, Controllers, and Consumer Equipment. Domestically, the Company handles manufacturing and sales, while overseas, consolidated subsidiaries in the US, China, Thailand, South Korea, and India have built sales networks, with Chino Precision Instruments (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. in China supplying in-house manufactured products. Main customers are in semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing equipment and heat treatment processing, but in FY2026 (ending March 2026), demand for OEM products for specific customers temporarily slowed, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in both sales and profit.
Recent Overview
Both sales and profit declined slightly year-on-year due to sluggish OEM demand, while orders show a recovery trend
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales were ¥9,608 million (down 1.4% year-on-year) and segment profit was ¥1,479 million (down 2.1% year-on-year), with both sales and profit falling below the prior year. While demand from semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing equipment and heat treatment processing remained steady, the main cause was a temporary slowdown in demand for OEM products for specific customers. On the other hand, orders received recovered to ¥9,338 million (up 5.1% year-on-year), and a recovery in sales is expected from the next fiscal year onward.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Steady trend in domestic demand for semiconductor and electronic component manufacturing equipment and heat treatment processing applications
- Orders received recovered to ¥9,338 million, up 5.1% year-on-year, expected to contribute to sales in the next period
- Strengthening of the global sales system through the overseas subsidiary network in the US, China, Thailand, South Korea, and India
- Accumulation of service revenue through expanded proposal activities for periodic calibration and inspection services
- Development progress toward the launch of a paid version of Chino Cloud (dedicated cloud service)
Risks
- Widening fluctuations in sales due to demand volatility for OEM products for specific customers (a temporary slowdown occurred in FY2026 (ending March 2026))
- Decline in overseas demand due to sluggish Chinese economy
- Pressure on profit margins from rising costs such as raw materials and labor
- Impact of uncertainty in US tariff policy on capital expenditure sentiment in the manufacturing industry
- Widening fluctuations in sales due to demand volatility in the semiconductor and electronic component markets
- Foreign exchange fluctuation risk at overseas subsidiaries
