Business Overview

-Manufactures and sells bearings, constant velocity joints, and precision equipment.

-Supplies its products and services to the automotive market, aftermarket, and industrial machinery market. Sales to the automotive industry accounted for 68.3% of the Company's overall revenue in FY ended March 2024.

-Among the Company’s many automotive products, the Company has the world’s highest share of hub bearings and drive shafts, according to the Company's own study. It focuses on developing products for electric vehicles also.

Reorganization of Business Segments

-The Company changed its Business Bearings Segment (aftermarket, industrial machinery, and automotive) to Bearing Products (bearings/others and CVJs/axles). It changed its business framework by consolidating its bearing operations, strengthening its supply framework in response to the growing aftermarket business, and creating an operating structure that can offer product proposals and solutions. The CVJ/axle business is working to increase profit and respond to needs such as electrification.

-The divisions and target markets under the new organizational structure are listed below.

Bearings/Other: aftermarket, industrial equipment, automotive
CVJ/Axles: aftermarket, automotive
