HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1901 by Asajiro Kawaguchi for selling paints & painting tools, on his account.  Incorporated in 1941 the firm has been succeeded by his descendants.  Yohei Kawaguchi took the pres office in Dec 2007 after his father, Asao Kawaguchi, who promoted to ch.  Yohei is the fourth generation master.  A family-based company, owned and managed solely by the Kawaguchi family.  Specializes in wholesaling industrial paints, coatings, abrasives, other related goods, painting tools & equipment, etc.  Also executes painting works.  Goods are supplied from major paint mfrs.  Clients include major machinery mfrs, electric appliances makers, others, nationwide.

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Financials are only partially disclosed.

 

The sales volume for Oct/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,193 million, a 4% up from Yen 1,146 million in the previous term.  This is attributed to rising housing starts during the term.  The net profit, on the other hand, decreased to Yen 23 million from Yen 30 million a year ago.  This is referred to the rising costs of materials & operations, hurting profitability.

 

For the current term ending Oct 2008 the net profit is projected at Yen 22 million, on a similar turnover, at Yen 1,200 million.  New housing starts may plunge due to the introduction of revised building standards law.

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 21.0 million, on 30 days normal terms.
