Tsubaki Nakashima Targets 500 Million Yen in Savings Through Restructuring, Workforce Cuts

By

Tsubaki Nakashima (TYO:6464) expects 500 million yen in savings from scrapping its regional business unit structure for a function-based system, with matching separation costs leaving 2026 earnings largely unaffected.

The company will slash its leadership team to five from 12 and separate about 30 employees, mostly senior executives and managers, by year-end, according to a Tokyo bourse filing on Tuesday.

The move is aimed at fixing "fragmented decision-making," Tsubaki said.

The new structure, effective June 8, aims to lower labor and administrative costs, accelerate decision-making, and enhance global optimization across procurement, supply chain, and manufacturing.
