Business Details
A wholesale business handling housing hardware, housing materials, housing equipment, exterior products, machine tools, temporary materials, building sashes, and other housing and building materials. Its main market is Hokkaido, and its performance is heavily influenced by trends in new housing starts (particularly owner-occupied housing). The company is focusing on strengthening sales of original ventilation-related products such as the ductless total heat exchange ventilation system "Air save" and selling at appropriate prices, while also promoting sales growth through new product development and the development of new procurement routes. This segment accounted for 25.7% of consolidated external customer sales in FY2026 (ending March 2026).
Recent Overview
Overlapping declines in housing starts and rising costs led to significant year-on-year decreases in both sales and profit
In the Wholesale Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), external customer sales came to ¥9,548 million (down 6.5% year on year), and segment profit was ¥562 million (down 23.2% year on year), representing a substantial decline in earnings. New housing starts in Hokkaido remained at a low level, with 22,182 units (down 26.6% year on year) and owner-occupied housing starts at 6,960 units (down 17.2% year on year). Despite efforts to strengthen sales centered on ventilation-related products and to sell at appropriate prices, fluctuations in raw material and logistics costs amid the weak yen and the situation in the Middle East, together with increased expenses from system investments, pushed down profit.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Strengthening sales of original ventilation-related products (Air save) and expanding into the Honshu market
- Capturing demand for ventilation and energy-saving related products arising from revisions to the Building Standards Act and the Act on the Improvement of Energy Consumption Performance of Buildings
- Expanding sales channels and boosting sales through new product development and the development of new procurement routes
- Expanding the customer base by promoting proposal-based sales targeting the volume zone
- Supplementing sluggish housing starts by capturing demand for building materials and non-residential needs
Risks
- Continued decline in new housing starts in Hokkaido (FY2026 (ending March 2026): 22,182 units in Hokkaido, down 26.6% year on year)
- Structural contraction of core demand due to sluggish owner-occupied housing starts (6,960 units in Hokkaido, down 17.2% year on year)
- Rising raw material and procurement costs and fluctuating logistics costs due to the weak yen
- Profit pressure from increased selling, general and administrative expenses, including system investments
- Declining willingness to purchase homes amid rising interest rates and continued uncertainty about the outlook
- High dependence on sales in the Hokkaido region, resulting in significant impact on performance during economic stagnation in the region
