Expansion of orders for melting furnace products, furnace repair work, and incinerator maintenance

「In this business, customers have responded favorably to Freedom, a melting and holding furnace based on a new concept that can significantly reduce oxide formation inside the furnace. In addition to substantially expanding sales of Freedom, we will continue to expand orders for the MK and NM melting and holding furnaces for the aluminum market and for furnace repair work. We will also promote sales of the SU furnace, newly developed to address carbon neutrality. Overseas, in addition to the Asian markets in which we have expanded to date, we will position Europe and North America as priority markets and pursue active development through product development aligned with market needs and stronger sales activities focused on Japanese companies.」

「In the melting furnace and environmental markets, orders for the new Freedom furnace progressed steadily, but customers in the automotive-related industries continued to operate at low capacity through the second quarter, resulting in lower sales of new melting furnaces and other products. Meanwhile, sales of recurring contract work increased, while the environmental market, which focuses on furnace repair work for incinerators, remained solid at roughly the previous year's level. As a result, net sales declined 10.8% year on year to ¥1,857 million, representing 32.9% of net sales.」

「In the melting furnace and environmental markets, orders for the new Freedom furnace progressed, but furnace repair work declined as customers continued to operate at low capacity, resulting in lower construction revenue related to melting furnaces.
