  1. FY2025-H1Strength in construction-material applications coexisted with weakness in high-strength yarn for construction materials.Annual report

    「In the glass fiber business, sales in the industrial materials field were firm, centered on construction-material applications such as tents and sheets. …… In the industrial fibers business, revenue increased due to higher sales of major products, while the deficit narrowed due in part to the effects of price revisions. Polyester high-strength yarn was weak, but sales of polyester staple fiber were solid, centered on filter applications.」

    Applications for construction materials and polyester staple fiber for filters were firm and solid, respectively, while polyester high-strength yarn was weak, indicating that demand related to construction and civil engineering varied by application.
  2. FY2024WorsenedAnnual report

    「In the industrial fibers business, sales of products for filter applications and differentiated products for export were strong, but sales of high-strength yarn for civil engineering and construction applications struggled.」

    Sales of high-strength yarn for construction and civil engineering materials struggled, indicating headwinds for the previously targeted capture of construction-material demand.
  3. FY2024-Q3WorsenedAnnual report

    「In the industrial fibers business, sales of polyester staple fiber recovered, mainly for filter applications, while sales of polyester high-strength yarn for construction-material and other applications declined.」

    Sales of staple fiber for filter applications recovered, while sales of polyester high-strength yarn for construction-material and other applications declined, indicating headwinds for capturing demand for construction and civil engineering materials.
  4. FY2024-Q1RestatedAnnual report

    「In the functional materials business segment, construction and civil engineering applications were firm, but the significant impact of delayed recovery in sales for electronic-material applications resulted in lower revenue and lower profit.」

    Although there is no wording that emphasizes the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the business trend of firm sales for construction and civil engineering applications continues to be reported.
  5. FY2023RestatedAnnual report

    「In the industrial fibers business, domestic sales for construction and civil engineering applications were firm.」

    Although there is no wording that emphasizes the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, sales trends for construction and civil engineering applications continue to be described.
  6. FY2023-Q3RestatedAnnual report

    「In the functional materials business segment, sales for construction-material applications were firm, but demand for electronic-material applications fell sharply.」

    Although there is no longer any wording that emphasizes the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, business trends related to capturing construction-material demand continue to be described in terms of firm sales for construction-material applications.
  7. FY2023-Q2AdvancedAnnual report

    「In the functional materials business segment, sales recovered, particularly for construction materials applications, despite the impact of soaring raw material, fuel, and transportation costs.」

    The disclosure has progressed from capturing construction-material demand triggered by the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games to reporting actual recovery in sales for construction-material applications.
  8. FY2020ReframedAnnual report

    「In the industrial materials field of the glass fiber business, the Company is expanding sales of construction applications, including transparent noncombustible sheets, and expanding overseas, while focusing on sales for environmental applications and materials used in the electrical and electronic fields.」

    Demand capture in construction applications continues, but the focus has shifted from the previous emphasis on the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games to construction, environmental, electrical and electronic applications and overseas expansion.
  9. FY2018First statedAnnual report

    「In the nonwoven fabrics business, the Company seeks to capture demand related to construction materials ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In the functional materials business, within the industrial materials field of the glass fiber business, the Company is focusing on expanding sales for construction-material applications ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.」

    Looking ahead to the 2020 Games, the Company newly stated measures to capture and expand sales of construction-material-related demand in its nonwoven fabrics and glass fiber businesses.
