The company entered joint ownership under Nomura Holdings and U.S.-based Carlyle Group in 2019. After a pandemic-induced slump, sales rebounded amid a tourism surge, reaching a record \u00a527.8 billion in FY2024, up 12% year-on-year. Operating profit rose 3% to \u00a53.2 billion. Ahead of its IPO, Orion streamlined operations by selling a city hotel in Naha to focus on a resort near the new Jangalia Okinawa theme park, where it holds exclusive alcohol sales rights. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.okinawatimes.co.jp\/articles\/-\/1648511\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Okinawa Times<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172676\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_orionbeer_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Orion Beer, \u30aa\u30ea\u30aa\u30f3\u30d3\u30fc\u30eb\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_orionbeer_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_orionbeer_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_orionbeer_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_orionbeer_2025_cl.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/fnn_orionbeer_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo from<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Orion Beer official facebook<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
