Renesas resumes phased production at Kawashiri ahead of schedule after the Kumamoto earthquake
Renesas said phased production at its Kawashiri Factory resumed on August 4, one day ahead of the previously scheduled August 5 restart, while restoration toward pre-earthquake wafer-input capacity continued.
Why it matters
The restart moved the factory from shutdown into phased production, while Renesas continued to target restoration of pre-earthquake wafer-input capacity within approximately three weeks of the restart; it was not yet full recovery on August 4.
