Unicharm’s pet care serves both the litter tray and the food bowl

Unicharm makes baby and adult diapers, sanitary products and pet-care goods. Its pet range includes sheets and toilets for handling waste, as well as food for daily meals.

Absorbent materials across stages of life

Human care is the ¥774.4bn core

Four fields serve different people and daily needs

Processing shared materials for different uses

THE VIEW AFTER THE NUMBERS

What the numbers suggest

Unicharm combines a human-care core with pet toiletries and food.

Nonwoven and absorbent materials serve different functions from the nutritional design of meals. As Unicharm directs resources toward pet and wellness care, FY2025 also shows the difficulty of growing across markets: Asia struggled, and group sales and profit fell. A broad range and global reach still depend on products customers choose to buy.

NEXT COMPANY

Tsubakimoto Chain Co. · Year ended March 2026

Look at the next company

Tsubakimoto meshes two chains to lift a load

Tsubakimoto uses chain geometry and motion to build equipment that pushes loads upward. ZIP CHAIN meshes two chains into a rigid column, then separates them for storage in a compact case. Its wider Chain and Motion Control businesses nevertheless had very different operating margins in the year ended March 2026: 15.1% and 4.1%. Their April 2026 combination aims to extend product combinations into customer proposals and after-sales service. Its earnings effects still need to be established through future results.
