Kyodo Printing to Integrate Publishing Print Units in Shift to High-Value Production

Kyodo Printing Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7914) ) has provided an announcement.

Kyodo Printing has approved a basic policy to reorganize its publishing-related printing operations in response to a shrinking print media market driven by digitalization and changing consumer needs. The company aims to secure profitability and build a more sustainable business structure by reshaping how it sells and produces printed publications.

The plan calls for integrating the publishing printing sales functions of its Information Media Division with group units Cosmo Graphic Co., Ltd., responsible for plate making, and Kyodo Printing Media Product Co., Ltd., which handles printing and binding. By eliminating organizational silos and overlapping functions, Kyodo Printing intends to create a technology-driven front-line structure that links manufacturing expertise to customer proposals and enables faster, end-to-end decision-making from proposal through production.

As part of the strategy, the production model will shift from traditional mass production toward high-value-added printing, targeting new value creation in publications amid declining large-lot orders. The organizational integration is targeted for completion by April 2027, and, as it involves only wholly owned subsidiaries, the company expects minimal impact on consolidated financial results for stakeholders in the near term.
