Kyodo Printing Co.,Ltd. [7914.T]
TOKYO, May 15 (Pulse News Wire) – Kyodo Printing CO.,LTD. (7914.T) announced today that its board of directors has approved fundamental restructuring plans aimed at enhancing competitiveness and sustainable growth in its publishing print business.
The reorganization comes amid increasing challenges in the paper-based publishing market due to digital advancements and diversified consumer needs, leading to a shrinking market. To address these issues, Kyodo Printing intends to integrate its existing publishing print operations within the group, removing functional barriers between sales, plate-making, and printing processes. The goal is to create a unified structure capable of swiftly adapting to market demands and transitioning production models from mass production to high-value-added products. Scheduled for implementation by April 2027, the reorganization involves consolidating Kyodo Printing's sales functions, Cosmographic Corporation, which handles plate-making, and Kyodo Printing Media Product Corporation, responsible for printing and binding services.
This move seeks to establish a front-end system driven by technology and incorporate manufacturing expertise into customer interactions, enabling seamless project execution from planning to manufacturing. In a statement, the company noted that while the reorganization involves integration among subsidiaries, the impact on consolidated performance is expected to be minor. Further details will be disclosed as they become available. The announcement emphasized that the information provided is based on current data and subject to potential changes due to future market conditions.
