First Report Concerning Impact of the Heavy Rainfall in July, 2018

We extend our deepest sympathies to all those who have been affected by the recent heavy rainfall. 

Many districts in Hiroshima Prefecture where our plants are located have been impacted by the heavy rainfall. Damage has not been confirmed at the facilities at our Hiroshima Operations—Kure Production Department (Hirokoshingai, Kure City), Gohara Production Department (Goharacho, Kure City), and Shiwa Production Department (Shiwahigashi, Higashihiroshima City). As per news reports, however, water outage continues around the area of Kure Production Department, and road access has been severed in places surrounding other production departments including Kure. In these circumstances, excluding work by some safety operations personnel, work at Hiroshima Operations has been shut down on July 9 and 10.

Currently, a detailed assessment of the impact is underway. We will provide a further report of the disaster situation and circumstances regarding our product offering and so forth, when these details become available.
