Starzen unveils ambitious 2030 vision, targeting global expansion and record profit

Starzen Company Limited has announced its "Long-Term Vision" to realize "a global supply chain that meets customer needs" and a "Medium-Term Management Plan 2030" (FY2026-FY2030). This ambitious plan targets net sales of JPY 550.0 bn, ordinary income of JPY 16.0 bn (15% from overseas), EBITDA of JPY 21.0 bn, ROIC of 6.0% or more, and ROE of 10.0% or more by the final fiscal year. The company expects record-high profits by focusing on high-growth overseas markets and strengthening product capabilities, with total investments of JPY 70.0 bn over five years, including JPY 56.0 bn for growth initiatives.

Complementing this growth strategy, Starzen announced a treasury share disposal plan, granting 38,732 common shares as restricted stock to 86 employees at JPY 1,187 per share. This move aims to align employee incentives with sustainable corporate value creation. Furthermore, the company will acquire up to 330,000 common shares, representing 0.57% of outstanding shares (excluding treasury stock), for a total of up to JPY 397,320,000 via a ToSTNeT-3 transaction.

These strategic initiatives follow Starzen's "Medium-Term Management Plan 2025," which successfully improved earning power. The company's unaudited consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2025, show net sales of JPY 220,081 m and ordinary income of JPY 3,988 m, an increase from the prior period, reinforcing its financial position for future growth.
