Kawasaki’s main production facility at Akashi was not directly affected by the March 11 earthquake off the coast of Japan.

The Akashi factory is located about 400 miles southwest of Sendai, the center of the disaster area. Kawasaki Heavy Industry’s offices and factory were not damaged in the earthquake or the tsunamis.

Kawasaki’s production targets up to March 16 have been met so the company will temporarily halt all but one production line on March 17-18. All production will be suspended on March 21, which is a Japanese public holiday celebrating the vernal equinox.

Though Kawasaki was relatively unscathed, future production may be affected by delays from part suppliers across Japan. Kawasaki will adjust its business to adapt to circumstances as they come.  Read On: http://www.motorcycle.com/news/kawasaki-factory-undamaged-by-earthquake-90567.html
