Warlon Co., Ltd. Company Overview

Dear Valued Customers, We are pleased to hear of your continued prosperity. We sincerely thank you for your ongoing support of Waron products. As you may already be aware, the recent escalation of tensions in the Middle East has significantly worsened the supply environment for petrochemical products, including crude oil and naphtha, leading to unprecedented increases in raw material prices. In addition to the soaring raw material costs, the rise in manufacturing and logistics costs has also become severe, making it difficult to maintain product supply at current prices through self-help efforts alone. Therefore, we regret to inform you that we will be revising our prices as outlined below. We kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation regarding these circumstances. Details: 1. Target Products: All Waron products 2. Price Increase: Approximately 10-30% of current prices 3. Implementation Date: From shipments on Tuesday, July 21, 2026

As new patterns for the reinforced washi "Walon Sheet" and the washi-infused resin board "Walon Plate," we will release three traditional patterns (checkered water drop, shippō, and small hemp leaf) and two craft washi patterns (sea of clouds and large water drop) starting March 2, 2026 (Monday). We propose these as spatial design materials that balance aesthetic appeal, showcasing the beautiful texture of washi in a well-lit environment, with functionality such as durability and flame resistance. 【Features of the New Products】 - Interior materials that are durable and resistant to damage, allowing for long-term use - Maintains the beauty and texture of washi while being easy to care for with a water-wipeable surface - Certified flame-retardant products by the Japan Flame Retardant Association - Applications: building materials, shoji screens, partitions, lighting fixture covers, signage and display materials, etc. <Basic Series "Checkered Water Drop, Shippō, Small Hemp Leaf"> - Provides an orderly rhythm and visual accent to the space with repeating patterns - Distant view: "rich texture that blends into the space," close view: "intricacy" that changes expression with distance - Beautiful traditional patterns cast shadows through transmitted light <Craft Washi Series "Sea of Clouds, Large Water Drop"> - Depth expressed through the wavering of washi fibers and the blurring of patterns - Rich material feel represented by the surface's unevenness - Diffusion that transforms dazzling light into soft transmitted light
