April 8th, 2011

Via: Bloomberg:

Sony Corp. and Canon Inc. were among manufacturers that shut plants in Japan following a 7.1- magnitude earthquake yesterday, delaying their recovery from last month’s record temblor.

Sony, Japan’s largest exporter of consumer electronics, said it suspended operations at two plants in Miyagi prefecture because of power outages caused by last night’s aftershock of the 9-magnitude temblor that struck March 11. Canon, Nikon Corp., Fujitsu Ltd., Tokyo Electron Ltd., NTT DoCoMo Inc. and KDDI Corp. also reported disruptions today.
