Business

Mitani Sangyo is a complex trading company originating from the Hokuriku region, founded in 1928. It operates six main businesses—Chemical Products Business (net sales of ¥44,722 million), HVAC Construction Business (¥20,680 million), Information Systems Business (¥16,999 million), Housing Equipment Business (¥14,482 million), Resin and Electronics Business (¥12,230 million), and Energy Business (¥7,688 million)—along with an "Others" segment. The group is composed of the company itself, 24 subsidiaries, and 6 affiliated companies, and in addition to domestic locations (Hokuriku and the greater Tokyo area), it has multiple manufacturing and development bases in Vietnam. A distinctive feature is that the company provides a combination of trading company functions, manufacturer functions, and engineering functions to a broad range of customers including manufacturing, construction, public institutions, and financial institutions. The company is listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the Premier Market of the Nagoya Stock Exchange.

Business Model

The company goes beyond simple procurement and sales, combining contract manufacturing of chemical products and manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (manufacturer function), design and installation of HVAC equipment (engineering function), and sales and maintenance of proprietary packaged software (POWER EGG®, etc.) (software function). Cost competitiveness through offshore development and manufacturing utilizing its group of Vietnam subsidiaries also underpins its earnings base. The structure combines multiple segments to achieve both risk diversification and comprehensive proposal capability for customers.

Company Strengths

In FY2026 (ending March 2026), orders received in the HVAC Construction Business reached ¥24,713 million (up 31.1% year on year), marking a record high for the second consecutive year, while the order backlog grew to ¥22,070 million (up 22.4% year on year). Net sales of ¥20,680 million and operating profit of ¥2,320 million both also reached record highs for the second consecutive year, establishing a structure in which the leading indicator of order backlog underpins sales in the following period.

The groupware product "POWER EGG®" has been adopted by more than 1,600 companies, including financial institutions and private companies, and the company pursues both deeper penetration of existing customers and acquisition of new ones through continuous functional enhancements and horizontal expansion via user communities. The track record of winning NEXTGIGA school-related orders from 26 out of 34 municipalities in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures also demonstrates a competitive advantage in the public sector. Net sales of the Information Systems Business reached a record high of ¥16,999 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026).

The company holds multiple subsidiaries in Vietnam, including Aureole Information Technology Inc. (information systems development), Aureole Construction Software Development Inc. (construction BIM, with over 700 engineers), Aureole Business Components & Devices Inc. (resin molded product manufacturing), and Aureole Fine Chemical Products Inc. (chemical products manufacturing). These subsidiaries contribute to cost reductions and order expansion across each segment, and the Resin and Electronics Business recorded a record-high operating profit of ¥1,444 million in FY2026 (ending March 2026).

ENVALITH's Perspective

The consolidated earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2026) projects net sales of ¥113,000 million (down 3.9% year on year), operating profit of ¥3,000 million (down 11.2%), and profit attributable to owners of parent of ¥2,600 million (down 28.3%), indicating a significant decline in earnings. One of the main causes is a 31.9% decrease in net sales in the Information Systems Business due to the drop-off of NEXTGIGA school-related projects (which saw large-volume deliveries in the previous fiscal year). In addition, an anticipated 41.8% decrease in operating profit in the Resin and Electronics Business, driven by the situation in the Middle East, is weighing down overall results. This underscores the company's high sensitivity to external factors, and the sustainability of earnings needs to be carefully assessed.

The Housing Equipment Business recorded an operating loss of ¥698 million in FY2026 (ending March 2025) (widening from a loss of ¥469 million in the previous fiscal year), as increased promotional expenses for original brands pressured profitability. An operating loss of ¥290 million is also forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2026), and the timing of a return to profitability remains uncertain. In addition, extraordinary losses in FY2026 (ending March 2025) included a valuation loss on investment securities of ¥315 million and a valuation loss on investments in affiliated companies of ¥220 million, while a gain on sale of ¥791 million from the unwinding of cross-shareholdings helped support net profit. Attention should be paid to the gap between the underlying strength of ordinary profit and net profit.

The Chemical Products Business achieved net sales of ¥44,722 million in FY2026 (ending March 2025), the largest among the group's segments, while operating profit remained low at ¥945 million, representing an operating margin of only about 2.1%. Although this marked a substantial improvement of 104.6% year on year, the segment is forecast to see a 2.7% decrease in net sales and a 13.2% decrease in operating profit in FY2027 (ending March 2026) due to reduced customer operating rates stemming from the situation in the Middle East. Given the business structure's high sensitivity to external conditions such as raw material prices and customer utilization rates, structural improvement of profit margins remains a medium- to long-term challenge.

Growth Strategy

Aiming for high value-added transformation and sustainable growth through the combined strength of six businesses, DX promotion, and utilization of the Vietnam base

Packaging the know-how accumulated through delivery track records to 26 municipalities in Ishikawa and Toyama prefectures on NEXTGIGA school projects, the Public and Education Solutions Division was newly established in April 2026. The company will roll out ICT environment development and DX support to educational institutions nationwide, aiming for geographic expansion of the Information Systems Business and diversification of its revenue base.

Strengthening response to the automotive electrification trend by promoting mass production of electrification-related parts and continuing cost reduction activities at the Vietnam manufacturing base. In parallel, expanding into non-automotive applications such as sensor parts and automatic insert molding to reduce dependence on specific customers and applications. Also promoting the application of AI-powered automatic visual inspection machines to mass production processes.

Integrating multiple brands such as INTENZA® and JAXSON under the concept "Aesthetic sense resides in the details of daily life," redefining them as a prime interior brand for the urban high-end housing market. Strengthening experiential proposals utilizing the "sosū select showroom," which opened in Nonoichi City, Ishikawa Prefecture in August 2025, while monetizing the order backlog of ¥16,746 million and aiming to reduce the operating loss.

Continuing to promote the ongoing reduction of cross-shareholdings with a policy of improving capital efficiency. In FY2026 (ending March 2026), gain on sale of investment securities of ¥791 million was recorded, boosting net income. The earnings forecast for FY2027 (ending March 2027) does not incorporate any gain on sale, but the company will continue to consider the timing and scale of implementation going forward.

Expanding high-value-added areas such as valuable metal recovery, recycled carbon fiber, and continuous flow-based active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing, aiming to improve the profitability of the Chemical Products Business, which has the largest sales scale but a low profit margin (approximately 2.1%). Also promoting capacity expansion at the Vietnam subsidiary Aureole Fine Chemical Products Inc. in parallel.
