Investor Relations Performance Trends
March 2027 term 1Q
The global economy stayed on a moderate recovery path due to solid capital investment demand supported by factors such as an increase in AI-related investment, despite continuing uncertainties resulting from escalating tensions in the Middle East and other factors.
From a sales perspective, we opened a new sales base, Boston Sales Office , in the U.S. state of Massachusetts, and aimed to further improve our marketing in the Boston area, which has a high concentration of leading technology companies. We also worked to ingrain the IKO brand in the market and cultivate demand through proactive participation in trade exhibitions in Japan and overseas and other initiatives.
In terms of product development, we enhanced our lineup of high-value-added products that meet customer needs by expanding the range of sizes of our Linear Motor Table LT…H2 Series , a series of high-thrust, high-speed mechatronic products. In May 2026, we also relocated our Development Research Center , which is responsible for researching and commercializing fundamental technologies, to Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, and we carried out open innovation activities that leverage the location’s unique qualities.
From a production standpoint, given the high level of orders that we have been receiving, we improved the production systems of our bases in Japan and overseas and worked to improve our production efficiency by promoting the optimization of the production functions and the automation of processes.
