COMMENT

 

IMPORT AGENT SPECIALIZING IN VIBRATING SEPARATORS AND FILTERS.  FINANCIAL SITUATION CONSIDERED FAIR AND GOOD FOR ORDINARY BUSINESS ENGAGEMENTS.

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established by Tatsuhiko Shichida in order to make most of his previous experience in foreign trading.  The firm uses alternate name of “MiSWACO Japan” for oil-related equipment business, but this is not registered.  This is a small-sized trading house, based in Fukuoka, specializing in importing, as agent, vibratory separators, screeners, filters, wire mesh, other related separating equipment.  Goods are imported from Swaco Inc, USA.  The goods are applied in such industries as: chemical, food & beverage, powder coating, pharmaceuticals, pulp & paper, plastic, ceramic, laundry, other.  The firm also imports oil-related equipment and supplies from MiSWACO, Sweco and Katch Kan Ltd, Canada.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The firm does not disclose full financials and the following figures including all the information contained here have been directly obtained from the firm’s treasurer.

 

The sales volume for Mar/2006 fiscal term amounted to Yen 300 million, a 43% sharp rise from Yen 209 million in the previous term, according to the firm.  Imports rose sharply.  The net profit was posted at Yen 10 million.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2007 the net profit is projected at Yen 11 million, on a 17% rise in turnover, to Yen 350 million.  Weaker Yen will help to uplift sales in Yen terms.

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
