Business

Komatsu Wall Industry Co., Ltd., founded in 1968, is a specialist manufacturer of partition products, offering an integrated in-house system covering manufacturing, sales, and installation of Movable Partitions, Fixed Partitions, Toilet Booths, Movable Partitions, and Low Partitions, among other products. Its main customers include office building tenants, cultural facilities, and commercial facilities, with nationwide operations centered on the Tokyo metropolitan area. The company operates showrooms in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and other cities, and is strengthening direct outreach to designers and construction industry professionals. It is listed on the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥46,725 million.

Business Model

A vertically integrated business model in which the company's own group completes the entire process from order acquisition through design, manufacturing, sales, installation, and after-sales service. Products are manufactured at the company's own factory in Ishikawa Prefecture, and proposal-based sales are conducted toward construction industry professionals and building owners through sales offices and showrooms nationwide. The expanded sale of high-value-added products has achieved a gross profit margin of 36.1% (FY2026, ending March 2026). The structure enhances the visibility of business performance by building up the order backlog.

Company Strengths

Since its founding in 1968, the company has built an integrated system covering order receipt, design, manufacturing, sales, installation, and service in-house. It has obtained ISO9001 and ISO14001 certifications and established a quality control system. The company possesses manufacturing know-how and an installation network that competitors find difficult to replicate in the short term, achieving a gross profit margin of 36.1% (up 0.8 percentage points year on year) in FY2026 (ending March 2026).

The order backlog at the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026) reached ¥20,486 million (up 8.4% year on year), and order intake was also strong at ¥48,315 million (up 3.2% year on year). The order backlog for Movable Partitions grew particularly strongly, up 25.0% year on year. The accumulation of the order backlog creates a structure in which revenue recognition for the following period can be forecast to a considerable extent, resulting in high earnings visibility.

The company holds a broad product lineup including Movable Partitions, Fixed Partitions, Movable Partitions (transom type), Low Partitions, and Toilet Booths. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), it launched six new products and invested ¥326 million in research and development. Through the development of SKYDOOR (Movable Partition for High-Rise Buildings and Exterior Use), the company has also achieved entry into the super high-rise building market. It is also working to enhance design quality through industry-academia collaboration with Kanazawa College of Art.

ENVALITH's Perspective

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), net sales reached ¥46,725 million (up 4.7% year on year), operating profit reached ¥4,099 million (up 12.8% year on year), and net income attributable to owners of parent reached ¥3,048 million (up 15.0% year on year), with all indicators exceeding the previous period and marking a new record high. The improvement in gross profit margin (36.1%) and the absorption of increased personnel expenses—including base pay increases—through higher sales revenue are commendable. As an external factor, robust office investment demand has underpinned performance, and as long as this tailwind continues, there is room for upside in earnings.

Construction of the No. 2 Kaga Plant building (tentative name), aimed at enhancing production capacity and shipping capability for Movable Partitions, is proceeding smoothly, with operations scheduled to begin in May 2027. Capital expenditures on tangible fixed assets in FY2026 (ending March 2026) increased substantially to ¥6,934 million (approximately 5.2 times the previous period), and construction in progress has expanded to ¥5,614 million. Once operational, accelerated consumption of the order backlog and improved production efficiency are expected; however, attention should be paid to the risk that increased depreciation expenses prior to operation could pressure profits.

The earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) calls for net sales of ¥48,600 million (up 4.0% year on year), operating profit of ¥4,260 million (up 3.9% year on year), and net income attributable to owners of parent of ¥3,050 million (up 0.0%), indicating higher revenue and profit overall, while net income is effectively flat. Increased depreciation expenses associated with the construction of the No. 2 Kaga Plant building and rising personnel costs are expected to constrain profit growth. In addition, the risk of raw material price spikes stemming from the situation in the Middle East has not been factored into the earnings forecast and warrants close attention as a potential downside risk. The company plans an annual dividend of ¥135 (up 3.8% year on year), and its continued commitment to shareholder returns is commendable.

Growth Strategy

Under "NEXT VISION 2028," the strategy rests on three pillars: deepening the existing business, creating new products, and advancing production capabilities.

The company has strengthened direct outreach to designers and construction-related professionals through initiatives such as architectural seminars held at the Tokyo Showroom. The showroom received the 38th Nikkei New Office Award "Creative Office Award," contributing to enhanced brand strength. Results have become evident in the form of expanded order intake and order backlog.

The company developed SKYDOOR (Movable Partition for High-Rise Buildings and Exterior Use). It offers the highest JIS-grade performance in wind pressure resistance, airtightness, and water tightness, aiming to enter the super-high-rise building market. It realizes large openings on high floors—previously difficult to achieve—through horizontally sliding movable walls, providing new experiential value.

The company is proceeding with the construction of the Kaga Plant Building No. 2 (tentative name), aimed at enhancing production capacity and shipping capability for Movable Partitions. As of the end of FY2026 (ending March 2026), construction in progress of ¥5,614 million had been recorded, and construction is proceeding smoothly. Once operational, it is expected to accelerate the reduction of the order backlog and improve production efficiency.
