Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Continued expansion of the sales office network centered on the Tokyo metropolitan area (policy of opening 1 to 3 new offices annually in principle)
• Capturing demand for low-voltage and disaster prevention equipment construction through strengthened business cooperation with consolidated subsidiary Kawatsu
• Differentiation through a broad supplier network as an independent trading company and delivery via its own fleet
• Efforts to improve profit margins through early pass-through of materials price fluctuations to selling prices
• Strengthening of management foundations through operational efficiency gains using digital technology

Risks

• Increased procurement costs and profit pressure due to soaring or persistently high materials prices
• Extended construction periods and rising on-site labor costs due to labor shortages in the construction and transportation industries
• Risk of extended construction periods due to supply restrictions on petroleum products stemming from the situation in the Middle East
• Impact of geopolitical risks (such as the situation in the Middle East) and continued price increases on personal consumption and corporate activity
• Risk of spillover effects on the domestic economy from sharp fluctuations in financial and capital markets
• Profit pressure from an increasing trend in selling, general and administrative expenses (¥5,199 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026), up 4.3% year on year)
