  • KM SEIKO Co., Ltd. and Pinning Co., Ltd., which became consolidated subsidiaries in April 2022, and Nittoseiko Analytech Europe GmbH, established in Germany in April 2023, contributed to business performance. In addition, sales of fastener products for the automobile, housing, and construction industries, and control products such as analytical instruments for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries showed growth, resulting in a 1.6% YoY sales increase.
  • Operating income declined 10.8% YoY due to the significant impact of sluggish orders caused by the slowdown of the U.S. and Chinese economies, despite sales price revisions and cost reductions in both production and sales operations in response to soaring resource and raw material prices.
  • Overseas sales declined slightly due to the slowdown of the U.S. and Chinese economies as well as prolonged inventory adjustments by customers in Southeast Asia.
