Yamabiko establishes UAE sales company, expands Middle East presence

Yamabiko Corporation announced on August 26, 2025, the establishment of Yamabiko Middle East FZE, a new sales company in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2025, this move aims to strengthen sales and expand market presence for outdoor power equipment and general industrial machinery in the Middle East. With an initial capital of JPY 50 million, the new subsidiary will be wholly owned by Yamabiko Corporation, with an executive officer of the company concurrently serving as its representative.

The establishment aligns with Yamabiko's growth strategy to achieve JPY 250 billion in consolidated net sales by 2030, with a focus on overseas markets, particularly Asia and the Middle East. The region is deemed a critical market due to increasing demand for outdoor power equipment, where Yamabiko's products are highly valued for their stable performance in high-temperature conditions and competitive pricing. The subsidiary, based in Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, UAE, will procure products and parts from the parent company and manage regional sales, with operations expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026.

This initiative, coupled with securing a local logistics base, is expected to reduce product lead times and alleviate inventory and financial burdens on distributors, thereby further expanding sales. While the impact on consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2025 is deemed immaterial, the company will promptly disclose any material impacts on future earnings.
