US Japanese Car Companies and Suppliers feel Effect Of Quake

Post by Heretic »

Well the factory I work at has slowed production of foam products for the Japanese Car manufactures here in the US because of supply problem on the Japan side of the supply line. The factory makes Foam for the seats in the cars for Nissan, Suzuki, and Mitsubishi we will have reduced hours until such time as the supply line will be back up and running. We still are working making foam for Ford, Chevy, John Deere, and the Military.

Yeah, I'm guessing it'll be sometime until the entire supply line gets back to something resembling normal. The videos I've seen of fully-assembled cars waiting to be shipped out getting literally piled up by the tsunami are something else.
