Comments: Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals Mfg. Co., Ltd. is a leader in offset and gravure inks, pigments and colorants. Headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, the company has 13 domestic and 23 manufacturing and sales subsidiaries worldwide.
Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals Mfg. Co., Ltd.’s overall sales slightly by 0.1% to ¥122,005 million ($909 million) in 2022, but its operating profit dropped by 64.6% to ¥2,635 million ($18.5 million).
Dainichiseika’s ink business is part of the company’s Graphic and Printing Materials segment, which saw improved sales but declining profitability. Net sales for the Printing Inks business sales were up approximately 10.9% to ¥31,071 million ($219 million).
However, operating profit declined, with an operating loss of ¥1,362 million ($9.6 million).
“Sales of gravure printing ink for the packaging materials industry were solid in Japan mainly for beverage label applications,” the company reported. “Overseas, with COVID-19 having been brought under control, the Indonesian subsidiary recorded a significant increase in revenue.
“Sales of offset printing ink were weak due to a decrease in demand, the report continued. “As a result, net sales in the segment stood at ¥31,071 million, up by 10.9% compared with the same period of the previous fiscal year, and operating loss was ¥1,362 million (compared with operating loss of ¥825 million for the same period of the previous fiscal year) due to raw material prices remaining high and recording relocation expenses for new plants.”
