Bridgestone restarts production at final quake-affected plant
ERJ staff report (DS)
Tokyo -- Bridgestone has partially re-started production at its tyre plant in Nasu, Japan. This is the last of Bridgestone's factories in Japan to re-start after its operations were affected by the 11 March earthquake and tsunami.
The factory output will be increased gradually based on electricity restrictions and other issues.
The plant makes passenger car tyres, motorcycle tyres and others.
