Overview
In Information, we market polymerized toner used as a core component of polymerization toners, along with pulverized toner resins for copiers and printers.
In Electrics/Electronics, we market electrolytes for aluminum electrolytic capacitors used for home appliances, personal computers and electrical components for automobiles, pressure-sensitive adhesives using for electronic components, as well as agents for use in hard disk manufacturing processes.
FY2024 Business Performance
In the Information segment, sales decreased significantly, reflecting weak sales of polymerization toner related materials, mainly due to the withdrawal from production operations in China, despite a recovery trend in demand for toner resins.
In the Electrics/Electronics segment, sales of electrolyte for aluminum electrolytic capacitors remained sluggish due to the slow recovery of the EV market. However, net sales increased due to higher sales of related materials as the advanced semiconductor market remained strong.
As a result, total net sales in this segment decreased by 8.6% year on year to ¥20,911 million. Operating profit was ¥2,532 million (an increase of 38.3% year on year).
