Business Details
This segment's core business is the sale of commercial kitchen equipment and furniture, extending through repair and maintenance services to the manufacturing of commercial kitchen machinery and confectionery/bakery machinery. Its main customers are in the foodservice industry. The parent company handles sales and services, while manufacturing subsidiaries Ace Kogyo Co., Ltd. (commercial kitchen machinery) and Sunbake Co., Ltd. (confectionery/bakery machinery) handle production. The segment also includes the sale of residential kitchens. As the core business accounting for approximately 98% of consolidated revenue, it provides total support combining proprietary brand products with quality products sourced globally.
Recent Overview
Both revenue and profit continued to decline significantly in the cumulative nine months of FY2026 (ending March 2026).
In the cumulative nine months of FY2026 (ending March 2026) (April–December 2025), the Commercial Kitchen-Related Business posted revenue of ¥9,967 million (down 6.7% year on year) and segment profit of ¥766 million (down 18.6% year on year). Rising raw material, labor, and utility costs in the foodservice industry, along with consumers' strengthening cost-cutting mindset, have worsened the business environment for major customers; leading indicators are also soft, with orders received down 7.7% year on year and order backlog down 32.7% year on year. The full-year earnings forecast (revenue of ¥14,780 million, operating profit of ¥400 million) remains unchanged from the figures announced on November 14, 2025.
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Improved profit margins through expanded sales of high-value-added and proprietary brand products
- Strengthening single-item sales and prioritizing expanded sales of competitive products
- Securing customer trust and expanding repair/maintenance service business through enhancement of the 24/7, 365-day service system
- Capturing foodservice industry demand supported by the recovery in inbound tourism demand
Risks
- Suppressed capital investment by major customers in the foodservice industry due to rising raw material, labor, and logistics costs
- Continued weak demand for dining out due to consumers' ongoing defensive, cost-cutting mindset
- Increased procurement costs from price inflation and rising resource prices associated with a weaker yen
- Uncertainty over future revenue due to a significant decline in order backlog (down 32.7% year on year)
- Intensifying price competition from industry peers
