Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance
In Japan, sales of JETSTREAM and uniball ZENTO remained strong, while overseas sales grew in major markets in the United States, Europe and Asia. Sales of food- and hygiene product-related products in the adhesive tape business also remained solid, while the cosmetics business posted lower revenue due to the backlash from product renewals by OEM customers in the previous fiscal year.
