KANSAI HELIOS Unveils True Colors Transformation Plan
KANSAI HELIOS has outlined its True Colors transformation plan, a business strategy focused on improving profitability, streamlining operations and concentrating investment in selected coatings markets.
The plan targets an EBITDA margin of approximately 15% by 2027 and 18% by 2030. KANSAI HELIOS said it intends to prioritize profitability improvement rather than pursue top-line growth without sufficient returns.
The strategy includes four structural initiatives: segment optimization, legal-entity and route-to-market simplification, production-footprint changes and digitalization. Planned actions include consolidating product groups, closing underutilized or noncore production sites, simplifying sales and distribution structures and expanding SAP and other digital systems.
KANSAI HELIOS also identified automotive refinish, rail coatings, powder coatings and corrosion protection as areas with growth potential. The company said the plan is intended to build a more globally competitive, resilient and sustainable coatings operation.
