Business Details
The Textiles Business is a specialized trading segment that handles raw materials for various synthetic and natural fibers, textiles such as woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, and non-woven fabrics, various apparel products, industrial textile materials, and related merchandise. It operates globally through four transaction formats—domestic, import, export, and overseas—and promotes "Specialization × Global × Business Investment" under the medium-term management plan "Chori Innovation Plan 2028." It accounted for approximately 48.7% of consolidated net sales for FY2026 (ending March 2026).
Recent Overview
Both net sales and profit declined year on year due to weakness across all fields—materials, supplies, textiles, and apparel.
In the Textiles Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), in addition to sluggish trends in the materials and supplies field, the textiles field was affected by deteriorating conditions and sluggish market conditions in the Middle East, and the apparel field was affected by environmental and structural changes, resulting in net sales of ¥145,775 million (down 4.6% year on year) and segment profit (income before income taxes) of ¥7,050 million (down 8.3% year on year). Meanwhile, segment assets increased by ¥4,238 million year on year to ¥79,371 million. The segment aims for recovery from the next fiscal year onward under the new medium-term management plan "Chori Innovation Plan 2028."
