Regarding the impact of the 2020 Noto Peninsula Earthquake

We would like to once again express our sympathies to those affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake of 2020.
Although the homes of some of our employees were affected by the disaster, we have not confirmed any life-threatening injuries to employees or their families.
As for our related facilities, our head office and Ohno factory in Itoigawa City did not suffer any major damage and we are carrying out normal production activities, but the foundry of the Teramachi Factory has been suspended due to damage to some equipment and liquefaction. Due to damage to the floor and building foundation, we have decided to suspend operations for the time being to ensure safety.
We are currently working towards restoration with the cooperation of construction companies and equipment trading companies.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our business partners, but we aim to resume operations at the foundry business as soon as possible.
