No human casualties; recurrence prevention measures are being implemented.","jir_summary":"### Overview and Cause of the Fire Incident\nOn August 29, 2025, a fire occurred at the Toyama Plant due to approximately 3,000\u2103 high-temperature coke spewing from the graphitization furnace equipment. The fire was extinguished by firefighting activities on August 31. There were no human casualties or spread to neighboring areas. Investigation results suggest that pressure buildup caused by accumulation of volatile components inside the furnace and inflow of water due to melting of water pipes inside the furnace occurred in succession, leading to a large-scale coke ejection.\n\n### Recurrence Prevention Measures and Impact on Performance\nAs recurrence prevention measures, changes were made to the packing method of the graphitization furnace, covers were installed to prevent coke ejection, and the specifications and positioning of the water pipes were modified. In the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 2025, fire losses amounting to 830 million yen were recorded as special losses. The impact on the supply chain of artificial graphite electrodes is limited.","jir_financial_highlights":"Fire Loss (Special Loss Recorded): 830 million yen (Unknown)\nBurned Floor Area: 4,440.32 \u33a1 (Partial Burn) (Unknown)\nDate of Fire: 2025-08-29 (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#JapanCarbonCoLtd, #GeneralIR, #FireIncident","jir_key_figures":"Fire Loss (Special Loss Recorded): 830 million yen\nBurned Floor Area: 4,440.32 \u33a1 (Partial Burn)\nDate of Fire: 2025-08-29","jir_meta_title":"Japan Carbon Records 830 Million Yen Special Loss Due to Toyama Plant Fire and Announces Recurrence Prevention Measures","jir_meta_description":"Japan Carbon Co., Ltd. recorded a special loss of 830 million yen due to the Toyama Plant fire in August 2025.
