Toward “Shaping Culture from interiors through Materials and Design”

I would first like to share my deepest gratitude to all of you for your understanding and support of Sangetsu Group activities.

The founding of the Sangetsu Group dates back to 1849, when Yasuke Hibi opened a framing business not far from Nagoya Castle. Later in 1953, Sangetsudo Shoten Co., Ltd. was established, and in 1970 the company changed its name to Sangetsu Corporation. We started selling wallcoverings ahead of other companies, and by expanding our product lineup and establishing a business model of “Total Interior” solutions, we have expanded sales of our interior products nationwide. We have always had a frontier spirit driving us to take on new challenges and the energy to overcome difficulties and move forward, which is a part of the founding philosophy that has been passed down through the company to today.
Since then, we have continued working to upgrade the value we provide by strengthening our business foundation, expanding through M&A in Japan and overseas, and enhancing our human and digital capital.

The core of the Sangetsu Group lies in solution proposal capabilities that go beyond expanding our lineup of interior products to integrate materials, design, logistics, and construction, that is, an evolved form of “Total Interior.” Based on this strength, we have brought new value to spaces and enriched people’s sensibilities. Going forward, by further evolving this core, we will contribute to the realization of diverse lifestyles by stimulating people’s sensibilities through spaces, going beyond just providing products. Based on this, we have defined the Group’s corporate vision as “Shaping Culture from interiors through Materials and Design.”

The Sangetsu Group has long advocated being “a Lifestyle and Culture Design Company.” To this day, we have played a role in enhancing the value of interiors themselves and the industry as a whole through “lifestyles” such as interior materials including wallcoverings and space coordination, a “business model” that develops sample books as strategic marketing tools, and “supply infrastructure” that supports space creation backed by quality and a meticulous supply chain. We always want to be an entity that continues to create the culture of the next way of living.

In May 2026, the Sangetsu Group announced its “Medium-term Business Plan 2029” for the four-year period from the fiscal year ending March 2027 to the fiscal year ending March 2030. We will further strengthen the Interior Business as the core of our growth and build a more robust earnings base through the expansion of product domains and collaboration with partner companies. In overseas markets as well, we will accelerate growth in North America and Asia, centered on the Interior Business. We position the Space Solutions and Exterior Businesses as expansion areas that horizontally deploy our strengths in interior products, and we will steadily nurture them as medium- to long-term growth businesses while maximizing synergies. Furthermore, we will explore new business opportunities in domains adjacent to our existing businesses, including interior design.

I would like to ask for your continued support in the future.

President and CEO
