HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1919 by Shigeji Maruyama in order to make most of his experience when he was with Dunlop Rubber (now Sumitomo Rubber Ind), and started producing rubber products, on his account.  When the World War II ended, the firm was dissolved.  In 1949, Shigeji reorganized the firm and started production.  Masashi, now advisory dir, is the founder’s son and Takashi his grandson, who took the pres office in Apr 2005.  This is a specialized mfr of rubber thread, rubber tapes, rubber bands, rubber sheets, etc, for use as textile materials, food wrapping materials, medical & nursing-case materials, disposable diapers, toys, etc.  In 1971, opened a JV factory in Bangkok, Thailand.  Goods are also exported.  The firm also imports and wholesales kitchenware, toiletries, bathroom supplies, home interior goods, handicrafts, other.  Clients are specialized traders in the similar business line. 

 

           

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.  For the 28/02/2007 fiscal term the financials are only verbally obtained from the firm’s treasurer.

 

The sales volume for Feb/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 960 million, a similar amount in the previous term, continuously hurt by slumping consumer demand.  Severe competition among the trade is another factor to depress sales.  The net profit was posted at Yen 1 million, similarly in the previous year.

 

For the current term ending Feb 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 1 million, on a 1% fall in turnover, to Yen 650 million.  Weaker Yen may assist to uplift sales but sales volumes are not expected to grow much.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and should be good for ORDINARY business engagements.  The proposed amount for 60 days terms is considered within the firm’s financial capabilities.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 16.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
