Impact of the Reiwa 6 Noto Peninsula Earthquake

We would like to once again express our deepest sympathies to those affected by the Reiwa 6 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
Although the homes of some of our employees were damaged by the disaster, we have not confirmed any injuries or loss of life among our employees or their families.
With regard to our facilities, while our headquarters and Ono Plant in Itoigawa City sustained no significant damage and are operating normally, we have decided to suspend operations at the Teramachi Plant’s foundry for the time being to ensure safety. This decision was made because some equipment was damaged and the factory floor and building foundation were damaged due to liquefaction.
We are currently working toward restoration with the cooperation of construction companies and equipment distributors.
We sincerely apologize for any concern or inconvenience this may have caused our business partners, and we are committed to resuming operations at our foundry as soon as possible.
