Business Details
Manufactures and sells Adhesive Products for Seals & Labels, Automotive Adhesive Products & Window Films, industrial adhesive tapes, window films, Outdoor Signage & Advertising Films / Interior Decorative Films, and other products. In addition to Japan, the company has a broad global footprint spanning the United States, Europe, ASEAN, and China, and the segment comprises two divisions: the Printing & Information Materials Division and the Industrial Materials Division. As the largest segment, accounting for approximately 57% of consolidated net sales, domestic operations remained steady; however, profitability was significantly pressured by sales mix and foreign exchange effects at the U.S. subsidiary, along with higher fixed costs and deteriorating process yields.
Recent Overview
Both sales and operating profit declined year on year, with operating profit down sharply by 63.8%
Net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026) were ¥182,644 million (down 1.1% year on year), and operating profit fell sharply to ¥1,979 million (down 63.8% year on year). Domestically, rising raw material, fuel, and logistics costs, along with higher fixed costs, pressured profit. At the U.S. subsidiary, higher fixed costs combined with deteriorating process yields led to a significant decline in profitability. The Printing & Information Materials Division posted ¥145,517 million (down 0.8% year on year), and the Industrial Materials Division posted ¥37,126 million (down 2.3% year on year), both below the prior period.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Steady domestic demand for pharmaceutical and logistics labels and recovery in eye-catch label demand
- Steady performance of domestic automotive window films and automotive adhesive products
- Expansion of the product portfolio through synergy with release paper for electronic materials and release films for optical-related products
- Expansion and increased sales of environmentally friendly products (hot-melt adhesive products, mono-material label materials)
- Promotion of a global market-in strategy for North America, Europe, and ASEAN regions
- Increased sales volume in the United States (an increase on a volume basis when excluding sales mix and foreign exchange effects)
Risks
- Continued pressure on profit from rising raw material, fuel, and logistics costs
- Declining profitability due to deteriorating process yields and increased fixed costs at the U.S. subsidiary
- Erosion of overseas sales and profit due to foreign exchange fluctuations (shift toward yen appreciation)
- Changes in sales mix in the United States and sluggish demand for security window films and similar products
- Continued weak demand for domestic food-related and beverage campaign labels
- Sluggish demand for automotive adhesive products and labels in the ASEAN region
- Impact on the global economy from U.S. tariff policy and heightened geopolitical risk
- Impairment risk related to goodwill (U.S. subsidiary related; goodwill balance of ¥7,093 million, of which a portion is attributable to Printing & Industrial Materials)
