Background and Details of Business Withdrawal
Gunei Chemical has decided to withdraw from its long-standing food business centered on isomerized sugar. Although the business has maintained operating profitability, the rapid deterioration of the business environment and continued negative cash flow have led to the decision to cease operations. Manufacturing will stop in December 2026, and sales will end in January 2027, with employees being reassigned to chemicals businesses and other divisions.
Revision of Mid-Term Management Plan and Future Strategy
Following the withdrawal from the food business, the sales goal for fiscal 2026 has been revised from 40 billion yen to 37 billion yen. While maintaining an operating profit of 4 billion yen, the company aims to improve the operating profit margin to 11% and reallocates resources to growth areas. This strategy aims to strengthen the financial structure, promote decarbonization initiatives, and maximize corporate value.
