Takachiho Koeki Launches "Flexible Outlet Unit," a Proprietary Product for Water-Prone Areas in Residential Equipment Market - Patent Pending -

Takachiho Koeki Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Takatoshi Ide; Securities Code: 2676; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is pleased to announce the launch of its proprietary product, the "Flexible Outlet Unit," for the residential equipment market.

This product is designed for safe use in water-prone areas such as kitchens and washbasins. Through this product, the Company aims to contribute to the improvement of convenience and comfort in living spaces, including system kitchens and washbasins.

【Background to the Launch of the Outlet Unit Product】

In our Mechanical Components business, we have been providing products that make the opening and closing of storage drawers and doors more comfortable and safe for the residential equipment market. Specifically, we have developed products such as "Soft Close Units" that reduce the impact when drawers close and "Soft Down Stays" that allow bottom-opening doors to open slowly, contributing to improved quietness, user experience, and the creation of high-quality spaces.

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for safe and convenient use of power sources within homes, including wireless charging (Qi), USB ports, and power supply products.

Against this backdrop, the Company plans to expand its product lineup for the residential equipment market, which emphasizes functionality, by adding "Outlet Units" to its existing offerings.

【Features of the Flexible Outlet Unit】

● Suitable for installation in areas where water may drip, such as kitchens, cabinets, furniture, and washbasins.

● Allows for easy use of cooking appliances and personal electronic devices where needed.

● Features a structure that protects the outlet from water droplets and dripping water, ensuring safe use.

● Simple design that blends into living spaces, available in two colors: black and silver.

【Strengths of Our Product】

● Ensures waterproof performance through the use of a covered outlet, eaves-like shape, and internal water-stop seals.

● The outlet part and mounting frame are separate and assembled, allowing for vertical or horizontal installation depending on the available space.

● In addition to a two-outlet specification, a single-outlet specification is currently under development.

● In the future, we plan to expand the lineup to meet diverse connection needs, such as replacing the outlet part with USB ports.

【Future Activities and Expansion】

The Company will primarily sell this product to manufacturing customers such as kitchen manufacturers and furniture manufacturers. We also plan to list it on our EC site so that it can be used by construction companies. With the widespread adoption of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, the demand for power supply products in homes and offices is expected to increase. We will continue to expand our product lineup and offerings, aiming for domestic sales of 500 million yen in fiscal year 2028 and 1 billion yen by fiscal year 2030.
