Strengthening Capabilities for Tires for Future Environmentally Friendly Vehicles

「The Group focused on sales activities for development divisions and capital investment. Although maintenance projects for utility equipment and sales of equipment parts to overseas tire manufacturing plants performed well, sales declined because a large project recorded in the prior-year period was absent this fiscal year.」

「In the Group, in addition to sales activities targeting the development division, we focused on sales activities related to capital investment. As a result, sales increased due to sales of processing equipment for overseas tire manufacturing plants and projects to replace aging equipment.」

「The Group focused on sales activities for development divisions and capital investment. Although replacement projects for aging utility-related equipment and repeat capital-investment projects performed well, this was insufficient to offset the decline in the first quarter.」

「The Group focused on sales activities for development divisions and capital investment. As a result, revenue was secured through projects to replace motive-power equipment and equipment projects for parts manufacturers, but this was insufficient to offset the decline from the prior fiscal year.」

「The Group focused on following up on development projects, pursuing new projects and conducting sales activities related to capital investment, as it did in the prior fiscal year. As a result, sales of the Group companies' original valves and tire-related equipment remained strong in Japan and overseas, while orders for capital-investment projects from parts manufacturers also contributed to higher revenue.」

「The Group continued to focus on sales activities related to development projects, new projects and capital investment. As a result, sales of blast cleaning equipment for tire vulcanizing processes, compressors for power equipment, water treatment equipment and other products contributed to higher sales.」

「The Group continued to focus on sales activities related to development projects, new projects and capital investment. As a result, sales of jigs and fixtures for tire production equipment and pumps for water treatment facilities increased, but this was not enough to offset the decline from smaller pump replacement projects.」

「The Group focused on strengthening its response to development projects and sales activities related to the repair business. As a result, sales of valves for curing machines increased, while large projects involving water-sealed vacuum pumps contributed to higher revenue.」

「The Group focused on strengthening its response to development projects and sales activities related to the repair business. As a result, sales of valves for curing machines increased, while a large flowmeter project contributed to higher revenue.」

「Within our Group, sales of valves and plates for vulcanizing machines increased as a result of strengthening our response to development projects and focusing on sales activities related to maintenance.」

「(1) Deepening engagement with automation projects and tire development divisions for the environmentally friendly vehicles of the future」

「The Group pursued various measures addressing challenges including strengthening its capabilities to address tires for environmentally friendly vehicles of the future and expanding its overseas business. As a result, orders for pumps and seals increased, but orders for valves for tire curing machines fell sharply. In addition, orders for shot-blasting equipment and insulating plates declined, resulting in performance below the prior-year period.」

「The RIX Group pursued various initiatives addressing issues including strengthening its ability to respond to future tires for environmentally friendly vehicles and expanding its overseas business. As a result, it received an order for a blower for tire manufacturers’ vulcanization equipment, and orders for hydraulic equipment and other products increased. However, orders for valves for tire vulcanizing machines fell sharply, while orders for proprietary fittings and shot-blasting equipment also declined, resulting in performance below the level of the same period of the previous year.」
