The electronics division has been making consistent efforts to increase sales and to provide client companies with plans for new products.
In the information-processing equipment market, capital investment by our client companies remains slow and the market is growing at a sluggish pace. However, the aggressive launch of sales of new product models, among other activities, has resulted in increased sales over the previous year.
Meanwhile, despite proactive proposals made by our company to our clients, and activities to acquire new clients, sales in the injection mold and parts markets have decreased from the previous year due to the shrinking demand for precision parts for digital products. In addition to this, we have been facing a significant decline in demand in the IC assembly market, and are unable to foresee future recovery. For this reason, we have decided to withdraw from our activities in this field.
In profits and losses, although we aggressively implemented measures to streamline our business, including the expansion of overseas production, profits decreased from the previous year due to a decline in sales, intensifying competition, and other adverse impacts.
As a result, Electronics Division sales in this consolidated fiscal year totaled 14.158 billion yen, a 4.3% decrease over the previous year (14.797 billion yen). Operating profits were 0.446 billion yen, a 60.2% decrease from the previous year (1.123 billion yen).

We will provide high added value services based upon a corporate philosophy that puts our clients' needs first.

By utilizing precision technology amassed in the manufacturing of clocks, our Electronics Division useful products, in order to improve the daily life for our customers.
