News overview

The company had previously announced the termination of Multi Aqua production, but has received proposals for business succession from multiple companies. It has decided to finalize a technology license agreement with Hatsuda Manufacturing Co., Ltd. covering the license of intellectual property rights, provision of technical information, and transfer of equipment. The contract does not transfer the business of the target product itself, but aims to maintain continuity through ongoing supply and a transition for business continuity. The contract is to be signed on June 30, 2026, with manufacturing to start from July 2027 onward. At this stage, the anticipated impact on performance is considered minimal.

Outlook and impact

After a complete transition to Hatsuda Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the manufacturing and sales of finished Multi Aqua products will be transferred to them, and finished product manufacturing and sales by our company will end. However, some parts of the supply of components may continue, and order fulfillment and maintenance response will continue during the transition period. The transition schedule envisions contract signing in June 2026 and manufacturing starting at Hatsuda Manufacturing Co., Ltd. from July 2027 onward.
