At our booth, we will present 'MISUMI floow,' an indirect material total cost reduction service that reduces man-hours for indirect material procurement by approximately 70% for mass production factory customers. At the venue, visitors can experience a demonstration of the actual vending machine, which can be installed inside factories, to get a feel for its real-world use. This will be the first exhibition in the Chubu region for the new drawer-type vending machine model, which launched in April 2026. Additionally, we will exhibit Misumi's new lineup of cutting tools. ■ Exhibition Highlights ① Live Demonstration and Hands-on Experience of Vending Machines, Including New Models The new drawer-type model of MISUMI floow is a vending machine suitable for managing small and numerous indirect materials, such as cutting inserts, end mills, and maintenance parts.

By optimizing ordering operations and visualizing inventory, it reduces procurement time by approximately 70%. High-frequency consumables are managed as Misumi assets in permanent factory vending machines, preventing customers from holding excessive inventory, much like 'Toyama's traditional household medicine delivery' in manufacturing sites. Medium-frequency items are delivered regularly, and low-frequency items are ordered as needed, achieving optimal procurement tailored to usage frequency. As of the end of March 2026, 2,500 vending machines are operating in approximately 800 factories in China and Japan. In fiscal year 2025, it received the Good Design Award and the IT Grand Prize (Customer Value & Service Innovation category) at the IT Award. ■ INTERMOLD Nagoya/Die Mold Exhibition Nagoya This exhibition is a specialized trade show where the latest technologies supporting Japan's manufacturing industry, primarily focusing on mold processing technology, gather.
