January 23, 2024 — Toshiba has announced that the post-earthquake repairs of its Kaga Toshiba Electronics (located in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan) are expected to be completed by the end of January. Toshiba plans to return to pre-earthquake production capacity levels in February.
Kaga Toshiba Electronics is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation and is the main manufacturing base for power semiconductor front-end processes. The company’s clean room exhaust pipes were extensively damaged in the earthquake.
The company said it is targeting mid-February for the resumption of other production lines and will try to move forward.
