ECHO TRADING CO.,LTD.

エコートレーディング is a business group primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of pet food and pet supplies, operating the pet-related business as a single segment. For the interim consolidated accounting period, net sales were ¥55.064 billion, up 4.1% year on year; operating profit was ¥330 million, ordinary profit was ¥314 million, and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent was ¥187 million. Pet Kingdom 2026 was held on 2 and 3 May 2026. Wholesale sales of pet food and pet supplies remained strong as a result of strategic sales activities, but rising purchase prices and logistics and other costs reduced the gross profit margin and contributed to the decline in operating profit. As of 31 August 2026, the number of stores under management was 196. GOODISH (グーディッシュ) was launched on 4 September 2026. The company handles the fresh meal product Magokoro Gohan, launched under the original brand “ShareZ: シェアーズ,” and will continue developing valuable products that address consumer needs as part of the brand’s new product development. The group’s product development functions have been consolidated within 株式会社Ｉ＆Ｉ, which will promote product development based on consumer needs under the concept “Ah! This is good.” The new medium-term management plan began with the fiscal year ending February 2027, and the group is promoting a transition to a new stage of growth built on optimizing its business portfolio through selective investment and concentration. Its corporate philosophy is “true coexistence between people and pets,” and it is focusing on developing the wellness market and sustainability initiatives.
