Bringing Core Product Processes In-House and Constructing and Relocating the Craftwork Factory

「国内自社工場においては、人員の確保・適正配置や工程管理システムを導入し運用の定着に努めるなど、効率的なオペレーションの実現による生産性の向上に努めました。」

「At our own factories in Japan, we worked to improve productivity by achieving efficient operations, including through the appropriate allocation of personnel and the introduction and implementation of a process-control system. We also moved forward with the planned introduction of state-of-the-art printing equipment to improve productivity and meet demand for entertainment-related products and items associated with supporting one's favorite performers or creators.」

「At our company-owned factories in Japan, we worked to improve productivity through efficient operations across both the first and second factories, including by appropriately allocating personnel and introducing a process management system to improve the operation of the second factory, completed in June 2024. We also introduced state-of-the-art printing machinery to meet demand for entertainment and fan-related products and worked to improve its utilization rate.」

「At our company-owned factories in Japan, we worked to improve productivity through efficient operations across both the first and second factories, including by securing personnel and introducing a process management system ahead of the full-scale operation of the second factory, completed in June 2024. We also introduced state-of-the-art printing machinery to meet demand for entertainment and fan-related products and worked to improve its utilization rate.」

「At the second factory, scheduled for completion in June, we proceeded with preparations for operation, including introducing state-of-the-art printing machinery to meet demand for entertainment and fan-related products, making final adjustments to the factory layout to improve productivity, and securing personnel.」

「At the second factory, scheduled for completion in June, we proceeded with preparations for operation, including introducing state-of-the-art printing machinery to meet demand for entertainment and fan-related products, making final adjustments to the factory layout to improve productivity, and securing personnel.」

「At our own factories in Japan, the in-house production ratio increased and productivity improved as a result of introducing new equipment and increasing staffing for production. In addition, we began preparations, including securing personnel, for the completion and start of operations at the second factory.」

「At our own factories in Japan, the in-house production ratio increased and productivity improved as a result of introducing new equipment and increasing staffing for production.」

「At our company-owned factories in Japan, we pursued the priority strategy of strengthening domestic in-house manufacturing. By expanding capacity and investing in new equipment, we improved the in-house production ratio and productivity, thereby strengthening our profit structure. We also promoted in-house production of high-demand merchandise products in Lifestyle Products.」

「We expanded the capacity of our company-owned factories in Japan and invested in new equipment to promote in-house production of high-demand merchandise products in Lifestyle Products.」

「We also began expanding workspaces to increase the in-house production ratio at company-owned factories.」

「Expanding the volume handled by our in-house factory, which performs final processes such as printing and processing, and installing production equipment led to a higher in-house production ratio and a stronger earnings structure.」

「At the new factory, completed in July 2019 and carrying out the final processes of printing, processing and inspection, we focused on securing and training part-time workers as the factory expanded and worked to establish an operating structure for full-scale operation.」

「In July 2019, a new factory with substantially higher productivity than the previous factory will be completed.」

「As sales increase, the volume of work in final processes such as processing and printing will also grow. We are therefore proceeding with construction of a new factory to substantially increase production capacity and meet customers' diverse printing needs, and are making preparations for completion in July 2019.」

「We also began construction of a new printing factory that will enable a substantial increase in production capacity, including by bringing outsourced work in-house and responding to customers' diverse printing needs.」

「On the production side, we will continue optimizing our production bases in China and other Asian countries to strengthen price competitiveness. In addition, we are proceeding with construction of a new printing factory to rebuild our production structure, including by improving technologies such as screen printing and on-demand printing that can directly print on sewn products such as tote bags and miscellaneous goods, and by substantially increasing production capacity through the introduction of the latest equipment.」

「We also introduced a new heat-transfer printing machine to strengthen our ability to provide on-demand printing that directly prints on miscellaneous goods.」

「Meanwhile, on the production side, we will seek to improve printing technology and reduce costs by introducing new equipment.」

「The introduction of a new multicolor printing machine established a system for bringing in-house the multicolor printing of tumblers and bottles, our core products, which had previously been outsourced.」

「We introduced a new multicolor printing machine and brought multicolor printing on our core products, tumblers and bottles, in-house.」

「The equipment will be introduced to bring key processes for core products in-house, with expected improvements in order-taking capabilities and productivity. The costs relate to the construction and relocation of a factory to improve operational efficiency, with scope for higher productivity through future additions to production lines and printing machines.」
