This is to advise you of the latest situations of Nikon
(Thailand) Co., Ltd., a consolidated manufacturing
subsidiary of Nikon Corporation in the Rojana Industrial
Park in Ayutthaya Province located in Central Thailand,
which is suffering damages from the flood.
Latest situations
Operations at the Nikon Thailand had been suspended
since October 6. After completion of water pumping-out
on November 26, we have been putting all our energy
into restoring infrastructure and production equipment.
We are now pleased to announce that partial operation
at the factory resumed on January 3, earlier than
expected, and production of certain digital SLR cameras
and interchangeable lenses has started on the same day.
Recovery and latest estimation
Manufacture of production equipment and some parts is
already being carried out at our Group facilities in
Japan, and alternative and limited production of
digital SLR cameras and interchangeable lenses is also
continuing at our partner factories in Thailand since
the end of November. With partial operation restart at
Nikon Thailand, our plan remains unchanged to resume
production of digital SLR cameras and interchangeable
lenses to the normal level of volume by the end of
March 2012.
Estimated impact on business results for the financial
period ending March 31, 2012 remains unchanged from our
announcement on November 4, we assure you to
immediately advise new findings once it is judged there
will be an important change for it.
We deeply apologize for your inconvenience caused by the
disaster such as short supply of our products.
