What Fuji Latex does

Fuji Latex Co., Ltd. (不二ラテックス株式会社) is a Japanese rubber products manufacturer founded in 1949 and headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, publicly listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (tyo:5199). The company operates five distinct product divisions serving diverse end markets including precision equipment manufacturers, medical institutions, healthcare consumers, corporate sales-promotion clients, and the food industry. These divisions comprise precision instruments (shock absorbers, small resin dampers, rotary dampers, gas springs, helical isolators), medical products (natural rubber probe covers, IR latex probe covers, IUCDs, cervical dilators), healthcare products (condoms, pregnancy test kits, cooling products, sleep aids), balloons and sales promotion items, and food-grade rubber containers with filling machines.

The company's core technology centers on rubber latex processing and precision dampening engineering. Its precision instruments division operates under the keywords 'Soft, Silent, Safety' and produces shock absorbers, dampers, and vibration suppression solutions, including seismic isolation technology marketed under the 不動王 sub-brand. Medical products leverage natural rubber latex expertise with IR latex alternatives designed to address latex allergy concerns in clinical settings. The company holds ISO 9001 quality management certification and operates from the New Tochigi Factory in Tochigi Prefecture (1601 Nonakamachi), which underwent a facility address change effective April 9, 2026. The company maintains 251-500 employees with an average tenure of 13.2 years and average age of 41.6 years, indicating a stable and mature workforce.

Fuji Latex generates revenue primarily through direct hardware sales across specialized in-house divisions within Japan. Each business unit operates its own sales infrastructure: the Healthcare Sales Division handles consumer wellness products, the Medical Division sells to medical institutions, the Precision Instruments Division serves equipment manufacturers, and the SP Sales Division handles promotional balloons. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. For H1 FY2026 (six months ended September 30, 2025), consolidated sales were ¥3.43 billion with operating profit of ¥248 million (up 84.0% YoY despite a 5.9% sales decline), recurring profit of ¥214 million (up 79.2%), and net profit of ¥37 million (down 35.4%). The full-year FY2026 forecast projects 3.6% revenue growth and 174.3% operating profit growth, signaling material margin recovery.
