「Global production volumes of EVs, PHEVs and other vehicles continued to grow, and sales of suspension solenoid valves remained strong. However, lower sales of conventional products amid the electrification of auxiliary equipment caused operating income to decline 42.3% year on year to ¥362 million.」
Growth in global EV and PHEV production and strong sales of suspension solenoid valves continued, demonstrating progress in sales of products for next-generation mobility. - FY2026AdvancedAnnual report
「In particular, against the backdrop of the global trend toward decarbonization and carbon neutrality in recent years, we are focusing on developing optimal low-friction technologies for each market sector.」
The company has formulated concrete plans to deploy low-friction technologies in electric mobility, hydrogen-related equipment, and renewable energy generation equipment. These include expanding mass production of high-speed mechanical seals for EVs, prototyping products for thermal management systems, and developing “HyBEKSTER,” an energy recovery system. - 2026-05-13AdvancedRevision of earnings forecasts
「Global EV production volumes continued to grow, and sales of suspension solenoid valves were strong. Sales of conventional products for internal-combustion engines also remained firm, resulting in segment net sales of ¥93.267 billion, up 6.5% year on year, and operating income of ¥3.082 billion, up 451.0%.」
Strong sales of suspension solenoid valves for EVs contributed to higher revenue and profit in the automotive and construction machinery business, demonstrating progress in developing products for next-generation mobility through actual results. - FY2026-H1AdvancedAnnual report
「Although the pace of automotive electrification has slowed, global EV production continues to grow. Sales of vehicle models equipped with our suspension solenoid valves were strong, resulting in segment sales of ¥45,945 million, up 3.6% year on year, and operating profit of ¥1,507 million, up 123.6%.」
As global EV production continued to grow, strong sales of vehicle models equipped with the suspension solenoid valves whose development and sales expansion we had pursued contributed to higher sales and profit in the automotive and construction machinery business. - FY2025AdvancedAnnual report
「In developing and expanding sales of next-generation core products, including EV products, inquiries have progressed for suspension solenoid valves to improve vehicle stability as EV weight increases, and efforts toward future sales growth are continuing.」
Inquiries for suspension solenoid valves for EVs have progressed, and efforts to expand sales in anticipation of future growth are taking concrete shape. - FY2024AdvancedAnnual report
「We will continue developing “next-generation proprietary technology products that contribute to environmental protection and energy conservation” for the next-generation mobility and energy markets, which we have been working on for some time, and aim to achieve this plan and medium- to long-term growth by proposing these products to each market.」
The company has reframed its policy of linking the development of environmental and energy-saving products for the next-generation mobility and energy markets to achieving the medium-term plan and medium- to long-term growth. - FY2022AdvancedAnnual report
「We developed a high-speed mechanical seal for water-cooled EV drive motor shafts. Its combination of high sealing performance and low torque performance has been highly rated by customers, and we have started mass production while working to expand sales further.」
Following customer evaluation of the high-speed mechanical seal for EVs, mass production began. The company also reported expanding mass production of carbon bearings and starting mass production of small-diameter lip seals, indicating progress in product development for next-generation mobility. - FY2020AdvancedAnnual report
「To respond to the automotive industry's shift toward EVs and obtain EV-related technical information quickly and accurately, we established R&D centers in China and Europe, both important EV markets. We are also pursuing technical collaboration with universities known for their EV research.」
The China and Europe R&D centers have been completed, and progress has been made in technical collaboration with universities, the start of mass production of EV-related seals, and the development of production lines. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「To respond to the shift toward EVs and obtain EV-related technical information quickly and accurately, we are establishing R&D centers in China and Europe, both important EV markets. The center in China has been completed, and completion of the European center is scheduled for July 2019.」
Specific progress in next-generation automotive product development is reported, including completion of the China R&D center and the scheduled completion of the European R&D center in July 2019. - FY2017First statedAnnual report
「Product development leveraging proprietary technologies for the “next-generation mobility and energy” markets」
The policy of developing products for the next-generation mobility and energy markets using proprietary technologies has been identified for the first time as a key initiative under the three-year plan.
