Our company endorses April Dream, an initiative to make April 1st a day for sharing dreams. This press release is the dream of 'Nakayamafuku Co., Ltd., Nakayamafuku Group'.

Nakayamafuku Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Osaka; President and CEO: Kinya Hashimoto; hereinafter 'Nakayamafuku'), a specialized trading company for household goods, has entered its 102nd year of business, having been founded in March 1925. Building on the history and trust we have cultivated, our company will further evolve the value we provide to support lifestyles for the next era.

Building on over 100 years of history, we embark on a new challenge in our 102nd year.

Nakayamafuku has long operated as a specialized trading company for household goods. Currently, our group consists of three companies, connecting various stages of distribution to deliver value that supports consumers' lives.

What our group has cherished is not merely distributing products, but 'connecting manufacturing, lifestyles, and people, and bringing happiness to everyone involved.' As we enter our 102nd year after our 101st anniversary, we are inheriting this spirit while pursuing new challenges for our next stage of growth.

The Nakayamafuku Group handles a wide range of lifestyle-related products, from kitchen items like frying pans, dining products, storage solutions, and interior goods to leisure and gardening supplies. By also having logistics functions, we have demonstrated value as a bridge between manufacturers and retailers. Furthermore, since 2013, we have been conducting M&A, leveraging the unique characteristics of each group company to aim for the realization of a stable and prosperous life for everyone.

Nakayamafuku's challenge: Continuing to adapt to a changing era

Today, society is changing rapidly, and we believe we must also continue to evolve the definition of this 'bridging' role.

1- Delivering not just goods, but also information as value

We believe the role of 'connecting manufacturers and retailers' is not just about connecting the right products with the right buyers, but also about properly providing valuable information and opportunities with an eye on the end consumer's life.

2- Uniting the group's strength for perpetual corporate value enhancement

Instead of each company functioning individually, we will promote value creation across areas such as manufacturing, wholesale, and e-commerce by collaborating while leveraging our respective strengths. Through building a system that encompasses planning, manufacturing, and sales, we aim for sustainable growth.

3- Towards a corporate group that supports lifestyles and delivers happiness

Our 102nd year is a new step towards the next stage of growth. Guided by the philosophy of 'connecting manufacturing, lifestyles, and people, and bringing happiness to everyone involved,' Nakayamafuku will continue to evolve as a corporate group that creates value appropriate for a new era and stays close to people's lives.

Looking ahead.

Nakayamafuku and the Nakayamafuku Group consider the 102nd year, which marks a milestone in the medium-term management plan NFG2026, as a new starting point. We will strive to become an entity that is even more essential to consumers, business partners, and society. Please look forward to Nakayamafuku's challenges for the next era.
