- Araya Industrial Co., Ltd. Araya Industrial Co., Ltd. engages primarily in the manufacture and sale of steel products, including ordinary steel pipes, stainless steel pipes, special-shaped steel pipes, various steel sections, and precision parts for office automation equipment; bicycle rims and related components; welfare equipment such as wheelchair suspensions, wheelchairs, industrial absorbers, and toilet wing arms; as well as real estate leasing of land, buildings, and warehouses. These products serve diverse applications in automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, construction, furniture, industrial machinery, welfare, and logistics equipment across Japan and international markets. Founded in 1903 and headquartered in Osaka, Japan, the company operates through three main segments—steel pipe-related, bicycle-related, and real estate leasing—and maintains subsidiaries for specialized production including overseas joint ventures. In recent developments, Araya Industrial announced on November 7, 2025, its withdrawal from the imported completed bicycle sales business, alongside revisions to its fiscal year ending March 2026 performance forecasts following stronger-than-expected second-quarter results; it continues active investment in roll-forming technology and new business areas amid ongoing environmental and global expansion initiatives.
