About the damage situation
due to The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (5th Report)

 

We inform you of the effect of this earthquake to the SMK Group as of 6.00 p.m., March 24.

Production facilities at our sites (Hitachi-shi) and affiliated production company (Kita-Ibaraki-shi) located in Ibaraki Prefecture have largely recovered and normal business operations resumed from March 22.
Sites located elsewhere are operating as normal.
However, although distribution and fuel shortage problems are gradually disappearing they are yet to be completely resolved, and we are still tracking the recovery progress of our business partners located in regions affected by the disaster. Therefore, some time may be required before our production operations are fully recovered.

 

<Effect of Scheduled Blackouts>
The estimated effect of the scheduled blackouts to our headquarters and main production sites as of the current time is minimal, and operations are continuing as normal.
