Sony Suspends Some Production At More Japan Plants
TOKYO (AP) - Sony Corp. says it was suspending production at some plants in Japan that make popular consumer electronics like digital cameras and televisions due to shortages of parts and raw materials following the calamitous earthquake earlier this month.
Operations at plants in Shizuoka, Aichi, Gifu and Oita were suspended until the end of March. Those factories are involved in the production of broadcast equipment, camcorders, digital cameras, lenses for digital single-lens reflex cameras, cell phones, LCD TVs, microphones and headphones.
The company intends to resume manufacturing operations at each of those sites as it secures raw materials and components, it said in a statement on its website.
