Highlights
Operational Review
【 Flat knitting machines 】
・Asia
In Bangladesh, orders received were on a recovery trend because of the end of the confusion caused by the large antigovernment demonstration in July 2024, and sales volume of N.SVR® and N.SSR® with high production efficiency increased from the previous period.
In the Chinese market, prospects remained uncertain because of the delayed recovery, but demand for the replacement of facilities from major customers in Hong Kong remained solid, which led to an increase in net sales.
・European and Middle Eastern markets
In the Italian market where customers are good at the development of high-value added products, there were signs of a recovery mainly in luxury brands and their suppliers, and the sales volume of both WHOLEGARMENT® flat knitting machines and molding machines increased.
【 Design systems 】
・The number of license contracts for APEXFiz®, a subscription service of the SDS®-ONE APEX software, increased mainly from fashion-related educational institutions in Japan and overseas.
Additionally, sales of SDS®-ONE APEX grew because of a sales increase in flat knitting machines.
・Sales volume decreased for the P-CAM® computerized cutting machine.
【Globe knitting machines】
・Net sales decreased because capital spending by overseas major users remained weak.
