Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Enhancement of added value through a shift in product mix toward mid-to-high price range aluminum wheels
- Improved order efficiency and customer convenience through use of the web ordering system
- Expansion of export channels centered on North America and Southeast Asia
- Expansion of sales of automotive accessories and parts (other than wheels)
- Improved production efficiency and strengthened supply capacity for high-end products through SUPERSTAR Co., Ltd.'s manufacturing specialization
Risks
- Decline in demand for aluminum wheels due to consumers' increased frugality amid rising prices
- Rise in import procurement costs due to the prolonged yen depreciation (in cases where pass-through to sales prices is limited)
- Risk of excess inventory stemming from the high trend- and preference-sensitivity of aluminum wheels
- Deterioration of the export environment due to US protectionist trade policy and geopolitical risk
- Continued sluggishness in the high-end aluminum wheel market leading to weak profitability at SUPERSTAR Co., Ltd.
