An update from WARABEYA NICHIYO HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. ( (JP:2918) ) is now available.
Warabeya Nichiyo Holdings has issued a second report on the February 16 fire at the Sapporo Plant, now operated by Warabeya Hokkaido following a March 1 company split. Investigations indicate the blaze was likely caused by a gas leak stemming from improper gas equipment operation combined with equipment malfunction, which then ignited from a manufacturing machine’s pilot flame.
The fire caused minor injury to one person and damaged part of the building and production equipment, with smoke and soot affecting a wide area inside the plant. Operations at the Sapporo facility remain suspended with no clear restart timeline, product manufacturing has been shifted to the Kushiro Plant and supported by industry peers, part-time staff are being offered transfers or voluntary retirement, and the company expects to book an extraordinary loss for the year ended February 2026 while insurance payouts remain under assessment.
