Minebea Co., Ltd. announces the fourth report of the effects of the flooding in Thailand on its five manufacturing sites, as of twelve noon October 18.



There are floods from the north of the Nava Nakorn Industrial Estate. The premises of our Navanakorn Plant, located at the south of the same Industrial Estate, are slightly flooded, but there are no damages to its plant facilities due to sandbags and other flood prevention measures.

The flooding situation around the Ayutthaya Plant and the Bang Pa-in Plant has been stabilized. Minebea has commenced inspecting their production facilities toward partially resuming production from October 20. Going forward, Minebea will resume production sequentially as soon as we have been able to secure and confirm employees' safe commute to work.

Future operations will be decided in light of the situation as it develops. We will continue to monitor the extent of the flood damage and its effect on business performance and immediately report any developments risking a significant impact on business results.
