Strengthening comprehensive service proposals, including maintenance

「In addition to further developing overseas markets, we focused our sales activities on the maintenance business. As a result, sales increased due to sales of rolls to overseas steel mills and renewal projects for aging equipment at steel mills, among others.」

「Within our Group, in addition to further developing overseas markets, we focused sales activities not only on production-linked products but also on maintenance divisions. As a result, revenue increased through projects involving equipment renewals for steelmaking and hot-rolling processes, maintenance of aging equipment at steelworks, and equipment projects for electric furnaces.」

「Within our Group, as a result of focusing sales activities on maintenance divisions rather than only on production-linked products, revenue increased through orders for overseas cleaning equipment, automated and labor-saving machinery and equipment, and remote-controlled heavy machinery projects.」

「Within our Group, as a result of focusing sales activities on maintenance divisions rather than only on production-linked products, revenue increased through orders for renewal and expansion of existing facilities and large-scale projects secured by deepening engagement in the maintenance field.」

「Within our Group, as a result of focusing sales activities not only on maintenance divisions but also on operations divisions, sales increased for special heavy machinery for steelmaking operations, safety fences and installation fixtures, and special valves for hot-rolling lines. Sales of equipment for restoring overseas steelworks damaged by typhoons also contributed to the increase in revenue.」

「Within our Group, as a result of focusing sales activities on equipment and maintenance divisions, the number of repair and refurbishment projects for equipment components at front-end semiconductor plants increased.」

「Within our Group, as a result of focusing sales activities not only on maintenance divisions but also on operations divisions, sales of refurbished bearings, a product of a Group company, increased. Sales also increased for coil skids and rolling rolls, as well as rental products for temporary water treatment.」

「Within our Group, as a result of focusing sales activities not only on maintenance divisions but also on operations divisions, sales of operating spare parts and various maintenance services increased, while sales of rolling rolls, overseas-fabricated products, and special valves for hot-rolling lines also 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.」

「② Expanding the maintenance, repair, and refurbishment services business by strengthening the manufacturer function」

「Within our Group, as a result of pursuing various initiatives focused on issues including “responding to safety, disaster prevention, and automation” and “expanding maintenance, repair, and refurbishment services,” orders for plunger pumps for water treatment facilities in hot-rolling lines and on-site safety equipment were strong. However, orders for rolling rolls for thick-plate lines, expansion joints, oil seals, and other products declined, resulting in a performance below the level of the same period of the previous year.」

「Within our Group, demand was strong for machined parts and maintenance services for semiconductor manufacturers, and sales of seals increased. However, orders for in-house cleaning equipment and consumables such as filters declined, resulting in a performance below the level of the same period of the previous year.」

「Within our Group, demand was strong for in-house atomizing equipment, joining equipment, and maintenance services, and sales of seals increased. However, orders for in-house joint products and pumps declined, resulting in a performance below the level of the same period of the previous year.」

「Within our Group, demand was strong for equipment repair and maintenance services and cleaning equipment for the back-end semiconductor process. Sales of seals increased, and sales of in-house joint products remained strong, contributing to higher revenue.」

「Within our Group, demand increased for aging-equipment replacement and equipment improvement projects in response to customers’ need for stable operations amid high production levels. In addition to orders for expansion joints for blast-furnace air-blowing equipment and marking equipment for thick-plate coating lines, inspection and repair work on diesel engines for transport equipment contributed to higher revenue.」

「Within our Group, demand increased for aging-equipment replacement and equipment improvement projects in response to customers’ need for stable operations amid high production levels. In addition to orders for powder-feeding equipment for continuous-casting facilities and gas expansion joints for blast furnace equipment, repairs to diesel engines for transport equipment as part of scheduled long-term maintenance plans contributed to higher revenue. In response to strong new-build and refurbishment projects in the industry, sales of joining tools and pumps continued to increase, mainly through the repair and refurbishment business, while sales of seals and rotary joints also contributed to higher revenue.」

「Within our Group, demand increased for equipment renewals and life-extension projects in response to customers’ need for stable operations amid high production levels. Orders for gas expansion joints for blast furnace equipment, sampling equipment for sintering facilities, and repair work on belt cleaners for raw-material conveyor systems contributed to higher revenue. Within our Group, sales of joining tools and pumps increased, mainly through the repair and refurbishment business, while sales of in-house cleaning equipment and rotary joints also contributed to higher revenue.」

「Within our Group, sales of cleaning equipment for semiconductor manufacturers increased, and we established new footholds by stepping up the provision of maintenance services to semiconductor-related plants.」

「Within our Group, we won orders for automatic filters and gate valves for water treatment facilities at steelworks as part of efforts to solve equipment-related issues, while repair work on hydrogen equipment and other projects contributed to higher revenue.」

「Within our Group, we steadily captured demand for equipment repairs and renewals, and sales of slag-removal equipment, rollers for coal pulverizers, and compressor valves contributed to higher revenue.」

「Revenue from maintenance of conveyor belt cleaners increased as a result of strengthening proposals for total services, including maintenance, rather than limiting sales to individual products. Within our Group, revenue from repairs of temperature controllers increased as a result of focusing on proposals for equipment repairs and maintenance.」
