Mabuchi Motor boosts profit, expands motor business with Nippon Pulse acquisition

Mabuchi Motor reported a 63.6% increase in profit attributable to owners of parent, reaching 18,097 million yen for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with net sales growing 0.6% to 147,025 million yen. This growth was primarily driven by improved operating income and foreign exchange gains.

The company announced the acquisition of OB Kogyo Ltd. (now Mabuchi OB Gear System Co., Ltd.) and its subsidiaries earlier in the year, followed by the acquisition of Oki ME Co., Ltd. (now MABUCHI MOTOR MICRO TECH CO., LTD.) and its subsidiary in Q3 2025. These acquisitions aim to expand Mabuchi's motor assortments and unitization capabilities under its "e-MOTO" business concept. The company also announced a future acquisition of Nippon Pulse Motor Co., Ltd., a precision small motors and motion control solution provider, set to close in January 2026 for 6,600 million yen. This further expands its business in mobility, machinery, and medical fields.

Mabuchi Motor plans a 2-for-1 stock split effective January 1, 2026, and a share repurchase program of up to 12,000,000 shares (19.0 billion yen) through September 30, 2026. The full-year forecast remains unchanged, anticipating 193,000 million yen in net sales and 16,500 million yen in profit attributable to owners of parent for fiscal year 2025.
