While some processes have been transferred to the Toyama Kureha plant and production rationalization and efficiency improvements have progressed to address the aging and cramped site of the Toyama plant, manufacturing expenses, including depreciation and other costs, have increased in actual results. - FY2026-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「At the Toyama Kureha plant, built as a new production base, some processes of the manufacturing division have been transferred, and we are pursuing further rationalization and efficiency improvements in production. However, manufacturing expenses have increased due to higher depreciation and other costs associated with constructing the plant.」
At the Toyama Kureha plant, built to address the aging and cramped site of the Toyama plant, some manufacturing processes have been transferred and production rationalization and efficiency improvements are under way. The disclosure also states that manufacturing expenses have increased due to depreciation and other costs related to the new plant. - FY2025MitigatedAnnual report
「In addition, the new plant at the Toyama plant is scheduled to begin operations from FY2025, and we plan to reduce the environmental burden, mainly through capital investment.」
The new plant being built to address the aging, cramped site, and inefficient layout of the Toyama plant has progressed to the stage of scheduled operations in FY2025. The disclosure does not state that the risk has been completely eliminated. - FY2024MitigatedAnnual report
「In addition, construction of a new plant is under way at the Toyama plant, and we plan to reduce the environmental burden, mainly through capital investment.」
Construction of a new plant is under way to address the aging, cramped site, and inefficient layout of the Toyama plant. The disclosure does not state that the risk has been completely eliminated. - FY2023MitigatedAnnual report
「Our main plant, the Toyama plant in Imizu, Toyama Prefecture, has a cramped site and its buildings have been in use for 44 years, making measures to address their aging necessary. We have therefore decided to build a new plant on land we own in Toyama, Toyama Prefecture, as a new production base for power and telecommunications-related products.」
Addressing the cramped site and aging buildings at the Toyama plant has progressed to a concrete measure, the decision to build a new plant. However, the new plant has not yet been built or begun operations, and the disclosure does not state that the risk has been eliminated. - FY2019SoftenedAnnual report
「To improve productivity at the Toyama plant, we recognize addressing the aging of the facilities as an issue. To ensure stable production in the future, we will consider measures to eliminate inefficiencies and work toward creating a better plant environment.」
The wording has changed from “highest-priority issue” to issues and matters for consideration aimed at improving productivity and eliminating inefficiencies. - FY2018RestatedAnnual report
「We recognize addressing the aging of the Toyama plant as our highest-priority issue.」
The recognition that addressing the aging of the Toyama plant is the highest-priority issue continues. - FY2017Greater emphasis on importanceAnnual report
「We recognize addressing the aging of the Toyama plant as our highest-priority issue.」
The wording has become stronger, changing from “critical issue” to “highest-priority issue,” emphasizing the importance of addressing the plant's aging facilities. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「We recognize addressing the aging of the Toyama plant as a critical issue. The surrounding area has undergone urbanization, and the plant is adjacent to residential areas and schools. In addition, the site is cramped with no room for expansion, resulting in an inefficient layout, with production and logistics facilities scattered throughout the surrounding area.」
Aging facilities, urbanization of the surrounding area, site constraints, and the dispersed layout of facilities have been identified as issues for future production and logistics operations.
