Nikka Whisky commits to a multi-billion yen capital investment to expand production and hit a new target for increasing its annual sales revenue. The company also declares its confidence in the long-term future of Nikka products sold in more than 65 countries worldwide.
The Nikka Whisky Distilling President and CEO Naoto Ono makes a big bet for the Japanese whisky boom by making significant capital investments and aiming for a long-term sales target that could increase Nikka's revenue by more than four times compared to its original figure.
Nikka spends around $56.4 million to upgrade its historic Yoichi distillery on Hokkaido, expanding production to start next year. The company also sets a target of hitting 100 billion yen in annual sales by 2034, aiming for a 200 billion yen revenue by around 2040. With the current sales growth from 27.3 billion yen in 2013 to 59.7 billion yen last year, NK48 is poised for a promising future.
While Nikka's sales are resilient to Donald Trump's import tariffs, the Japanese single malts and blended whiskies experienced a heavy demand in the international market, prompting established whisky makers in Japan to invest in production expansions and attracting dozens of small-batch distillers
