For Information: Update On Earthquake Impact On Suzuki Operation

MILTON KEYNES, UNITED KINGDOM – March 21, 2011: Suzuki Motor Corporation headquarters, manufacturing plants and shipping ports are all located in the Shizuoka and Aichi prefectures which are approximately 300 miles southwest from the centre of the earthquake. There has been no damage reported in this area, and the headquarters at Hamamatsu is fully operational.

Suzuki does use some suppliers and subcontract facilities that are located within the affected area, and the extent of the damage to these facilities is being assessed. The temporary suspension of production at all six plants has therefore been extended to 21 March 2011.

Suzuki Motor Corporation has donated - via the Japanese Red Cross Society - the sum of 30,000,000 Yen to help offer support to the people affected by the recent tragedy.
