HIGHLIGHTS

 

The subject company was established originally in 1920 by Ryozo Masujima for mfg gramophone needles, on his account.  In 1939 changed the mainline to mfg of sewing machine needles.  Incorporated in 1950 as Masujima Seishinjo Co Ltd (Renamed later in 1963 as captioned).  In 1974 set up JV in Hong Kong.  In 1977 concluded a European region general agency agreement with Rupple Maihoffer GmbH, Germany.  In 1995 set up the first overseas factory in Vietnam, followed by second in 1998.  Ryosuke Masujima is the third generation master, who assumed the pres office in 2000, after Yoshimi Masujima promoted to ch.  Products are both imported and exported.  Has about 80% domestic share in the sewing machine needles market.  Domestic clients are major sewing machine mfrs (both for industrial & household-use).  In 1997, spun off a division dedicated to electronics/office equipment automation parts/precision technology to establish Organ Technics Co Ltd.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Mar/2007 fiscal term amounted to Yen 8,636 million, a 13% hike from Yen 7,622 million in the previous term.  Exports to China and other S/E Asian countries were robust with the Japanese makers shifting its production overseas.  Weaker Yen also contributed to raise sales in Yen terms.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 919 million and the net profit at Yen 513 million, respectively, compared with Yen 836 million recurring profit and Yen 351 million net profit, respectively, a year ago.

 

For the current term ending Mar 2008 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 515 million and the net profit at Yen 515 million, respectively, on a 4% rise in turnover, to Yen 9,000 million.  Increasing production in China (subcontracted), Vietnam (JV factories) will contribute to sales growth. 

 

The financial situation is considered maintained FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimated at Yen 215.5 million, on 30 days normal terms.
