The subject company was established by Masaru Kawashima for exporting industrial & home-use sewing machines and parts, as Elize Mercantile KK.  Renamed as captioned in Apr 1964.  In Oct 1964, granted agency agreement from Mitsubishi Electric Corp for exporting its products of industrial sewing machines & clutch motors, followed   by exclusive agreement for exporting industrial sewing machines spare parts & components.  In Oct 2003, obtained ISO 9001/2000 certification.  A trading house for exporting as a mainline industrial sewing machines, their parts & components.  Exports to Asia, USA, Europe, Africa, Mid East, other.  Goods are partially imported. 

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

           

The sales volume for Jul/2005 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,784 million, a 1.5% down from Yen 1,927 million in the previous term.  The net profit decreased to Yen 11 million from Yen 14 million a year ago.  The firm stopped releasing full financials as from the 31/07/2005 fiscal term.

 

For the term ended Jul 2006 the net profit is believed posted at Yen 12 million, on a 10% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,960 million.  Weaker Yen should have contributed to raise sales in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered RATHER WEAK but should be good for MODERATE business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 7.7 million, on 30 days normal terms.
