Business Details
Handles Pipes (steel pipe, stainless pipe, copper pipe, etc.), Fittings, Valves, Chemical Products (PVC pipe, polyethylene pipe, etc.), and Tool-related Equipment. Sales are conducted through two channels for the residential, non-residential, and civil engineering markets: the Special Demand Department (direct sales to subcontractors and general contractors) and the Route Department (wholesale to secondary distributors). It is the largest segment, accounting for ¥48,770 million (approximately 28.3%) of total company sales of ¥172,462 million. The segment's competitive strategy centers on improving customer service through inventory expansion, enhanced immediate-delivery capability, and logistics efficiency improvements.
Recent Overview
Non-residential demand offset the decline in housing, with both sales and profit increasing year on year
Full-year FY2026 (ending March 2026) sales in Piping Materials were ¥48,770 million (+4.5% year on year), with segment profit (gross profit) of ¥6,360 million (+3.4% year on year). In the residential field, although the number of detached housing starts declined, high-value-added products for renovation increased. In the non-residential field, capital investment demand for logistics warehouses and data centers grew and drove overall performance. The company expanded its short-lead-time response and inventory products through strengthened immediate-delivery capability and more efficient logistics functions.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued growth in non-residential capital investment demand such as logistics warehouses and data centers
- Increased civil-engineering demand associated with seismic reinforcement and aging pipe renewal (expanded adoption of GX pipe, etc., backed by national resilience budgets)
- Growing demand for prefabricated processed pipe and labor-saving fittings amid labor shortages
- Improved customer service and increased market share through inventory expansion and enhanced immediate-delivery capability
- Increased demand for high-value-added products for renovation (ZEH-compliant insulated resin pipe, etc.)
- Growth in demand for high-function valves such as automatic valves amid expanding GX investment
Risks
- Decline in demand for Chemical Products and general-purpose piping materials due to sluggish housing starts
- Decreased demand for metal piping materials due to construction plan revisions and delays caused by soaring material costs
- Risk of fluctuation in non-residential capital investment demand related to semiconductors, warehouses, data centers, etc.
- Risk of rising procurement costs due to elevated prices of raw materials such as copper and nickel
- Risk of profit pressure from rising logistics costs due to the '2024 Problem'
- Sluggish demand for valves related to plants and factories
