Taiheiyo Cement (ISIN JP3449020001) completed the takeover of Tokuyama's domestic cement sales business on October 1, 2026. Japan IR reported that the transfer and the succession of Tokuyama Cement were completed, while a transaction account put the consideration at JPY 37.0 billion. Corporate Visit described Taiheiyo Cement as the buyer.

Tokuyama adds domestic scale

The transaction covers Tokuyama's domestic cement and solidification-materials sales business, along with two subsidiaries. Tokuyama continues to manufacture cement for Taiheiyo Cement under an original-equipment arrangement, while Taiheiyo Cement takes responsibility for external sales, according to Corporate Visit on October 1, 2026.

The structure gives Taiheiyo Cement a concrete distribution asset, but the operating backdrop is mixed. Tokuyama's first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue rose 4.7 percent year over year to JPY 85.654 billion, while operating profit fell 22.9 percent to JPY 6.076 billion, the same account reported.

Revenue grew while profit weakened

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Taiheiyo Cement generated JPY 898.4 billion in revenue, up 0.24 percent from JPY 896.3 billion a year earlier. Operating profit declined to JPY 74.6 billion from JPY 77.8 billion, a 4.03 percent decrease, according to Investing.com. The contrast matters because the Tokuyama deal expands distribution while the latest full-year figures show limited top-line growth and lower operating profit.

Taiheiyo Cement's investor-relations materials identify the fiscal year as April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026, and the company also reports an interim period ending September 30, 2025. Taiheiyo Cement lists both periods in its annual-report archive.

Tradegate price stays below yearly high

The substitute price was last at EUR 23.40 on Tradegate on October 2, 2026, versus a prior close of EUR 22.60 on October 1, 2026. That equals a plus 3.54 percent move, while the same quote page shows a 52-week range of EUR 18.30 to EUR 26.40. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Taiheiyo Cement was last at JPY 4,110 at 10:10 a.m. JST on October 5, 2026, with a JPY 3,265 to JPY 4,968 52-week range.
