  2. FY2025-H1AdvancedAnnual report

    「Regarding operating results, operating profit increased by ¥1.079 billion year on year to ¥1.760 billion, up 158.4% from the same period of the previous year. Operating profit was a record high for the period. The results of cost reduction measures exceeding the previous level of improvement are beginning to emerge, including improved earnings composition from higher sales of the new stabilizer equipped with new technology, improved global procurement sourcing to reduce direct material costs, promotion of engineering procurement improvements in collaboration with suppliers, expanded capital investment in cold-forming technology that enables spring products to be processed and manufactured using lower-temperature, more compact equipment as part of the response to the SDGs and carbon neutrality, and productivity improvements through the introduction of a work-hour management and analysis system for indirect-function personnel as part of work-style reform.」

    The company implemented productivity and cost improvement measures exceeding previous levels, including new products, global procurement, engineering procurement, cold-forming equipment, and a work-hour management and analysis system for indirect functions. Operating profit for the interim period reached a record high for the period.
  3. FY2024AdvancedAnnual report

    「While minimizing productivity losses from sharp fluctuations in production volumes in the fourth quarter, we improved profitability by starting mass production of the new stabilizer equipped with new technology, which represents the product value enhancement set out in the medium- to long-term management plan. We also implemented cost reductions beyond the scope of previous initiatives, including stronger global engineering procurement improvements.」

    The company reported efforts to limit productivity losses from sharp production fluctuations, start mass production of the new stabilizer, and improve engineering procurement.
