The affected products include steering knuckles and housings, other suspension parts, and hydraulic components. Domestic production of cast camshafts and production at the Indonesian subsidiary will continue. In the fiscal year ending March 2025, sales for the relevant business were 5,061 million yen with an operating loss of 725 million yen, representing approximately 3% of consolidated net sales.\n\n### Reasons for Production Discontinuation and Future Outlook\nDemand has been declining due to decreases in domestic automobile production volumes, material substitution, and switching to overseas products. Additionally, aging production equipment and rising maintenance costs have worsened profitability. As part of business portfolio reform, production will be discontinued due to the inability to improve profitability. The affected employees are expected to continue employment through transfers within the group. The impact on earnings is currently being examined and will be disclosed promptly if necessary.","jir_financial_highlights":"Net Sales: 5,061 million yen (Unknown)\nOperating Income: \u25b2725 million yen (Unknown)\nProduction Volume: 1,239 tons\/month (Unknown)\nNumber of Employees: 56 persons (as of April 1, 2026) (Unknown)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#RikenNPRCorporation, #BusinessStrategy, #FoundryBusiness, #JapaneseStocks","jir_key_figures":"Net Sales: 5,061 million yen (relevant business in fiscal year ending March 2025)\nOperating Income: \u25b2725 million yen (relevant business in fiscal year ending March 2025)\nScheduled Production Discontinuation Date: September 2027 (domestic production excluding camshafts)","jir_meta_title":"Riken NPR Announces Discontinuation of Part of Domestic Foundry Business Production\uff5cApril 2026","jir_meta_description":"Riken NPR Corporation will end domestic production of certain foundry business products in September 2027.
