      Sanix enters the business of selling disaster prevention-related equipment

      In the future, the company will start full-scale operations by expanding sales channels and product lineups, including EC (electronic commerce) sites. The business to be launched this time was chosen in the course of internal discussions because of its high relevance to the existing business, and the company has been exploring market trends by repeatedly participating in exhibitions in various regions since 2018. Sanix expanded through the sale and installation of solar power generation systems, but the business environment worsened with the revision of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) system for renewable energy. The company has been exploring a growth strategy by launching a new business while returning to its main business of termite control installation. The photo shows an exhibition that Sanix participated in in October 2019. (Photo taken on October 17, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)

                      Fujiya expects to book net loss of 6.7 bil. yen in FY 2006

                      TOKYO, Japan - Confectioner Fujiya Co. said March 13 it expects to book a group net loss of 6.7 billion yen in the current fiscal year to March 31, revising its November forecast of a profit of 800 million yen, due to the revelation of its use of expired ingredients in cake products. Although Fujiya will chalk up extraordinary profits from sales of assets, including the land and building of its head office in Tokyo's Ginza shopping district (shown in photo taken in January 2007), the net loss will be unavoidable because of the large scandal-related losses.
