March 11, 2011 an 8.9 earthquake occurred in Northern Japan.

We would like to provide you with the information currently communicated to us by NTN Head Office in Osaka Japan as of this morning March 11, 2011

NTN production facilities in Japan were not affected by the devastating earthquake and resulting Tsunami.

There has been no reported damage to our production facilities.

We have also contacted our subcontractors to update their conditions, and most have confirmed that their production facilities were not affected. Those companies we have not been able to contact will have information posted as to their status upon receipt. We are presently in contact with our shipping carriers from Japan to North America to confirm their status.

If you have any specific concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us or your NTN Division Manager.
