Expansion of the non-residential market, including public facilities, commercial facilities and interiors

「１Q伸び率 8.4%」

「To develop demand for new construction, we are promoting conversion from competing exterior wall materials, such as autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC), in the commercial facilities sector, and have released the new “Plaster Moen Exterior Wall Fire-Prevention Structure” construction method. The method won a 2025 Good Design Award and offers benefits including reduced on-site workload and shorter construction periods. We are currently strengthening proposal activities for the method.」

「In the U.S. non-residential market, some companies have begun restraining investment in response to soaring prices and higher interest rates.」

「In the U.S. exterior wall materials business, demand in the housing business remained firm, particularly for multifamily housing, while the strengthened sales organization in the commercial business also proved effective. As a result, revenue increased by just under 20% in local-currency terms. The impact of the weaker yen was added to this, resulting in a substantial revenue increase of approximately 35% in yen terms.」

「We jointly developed the RC×EX construction method for reinforced-concrete buildings with HASEKO Corporation in the previous fiscal year. In the current fiscal year, we jointly further developed the method so that it could also be applied to renovation work.」

「Although the U.S. exterior wall materials business was affected by the sluggish housing market, revenue increased as a result of measures including the successful strengthening of the sales organization in the commercial business.」

「Jointly developed the “RC×EX construction method,” a composite dry exterior construction method for reinforced-concrete (RC) buildings, with HASEKO Corporation, and obtained construction technology review certification from the Japan Building Center, a general incorporated foundation, for new buildings (BCJ-Review Certification-285).」

「We continued to further develop overseas markets, including the U.S. business. In Japan’s non-residential market, we worked to develop the markets for commercial facilities and mid- and high-rise buildings, while also focusing on cost reductions across all areas.」

「In addition, we jointly developed with Yoshino Gypsum Co., Ltd. and Asahi Fiber Glass Co., Ltd. an exterior insulation construction method using a steel frame for non-seismic wall sections of reinforced-concrete structures, with consideration given to reducing building weight and energy consumption. We announced it in March 2020 as the “Lightweight Exterior Insulation System FEIS Tiger Moen,” broadening the potential for our products to be used in more buildings.」

「For overseas markets, including the U.S. business, we continued to expand operations while enhancing our construction support structure. In Japan’s non-residential market, we worked to develop the markets for commercial facilities and mid- and high-rise buildings, while also focusing on thorough cost reductions through various rationalization measures and fixed-cost reductions.」

「For mid- and high-rise buildings, the company had previously enabled construction up to a height of 45 m for reinforced-concrete structures through a new construction method using dedicated fittings. More recently, it launched the new “Plaster Moen Exterior Wall Fire-Resistance Structure” product for steel-frame structures in November 2019 and March 2020. The system achieves fire-resistant construction for steel-frame structures by combining the company’s products with reinforced gypsum board. It was developed to serve a broad range of fire-resistant buildings, having obtained certification for one-hour fire-resistant structures for low-rise buildings and two-hour fire-resistant composite-coated columns and beams for mid- and high-rise buildings.」
