Mazda to Resume Full Production at Japanese Plants
At a time when most automakers are proceeding to new production cuts, Mazda came out today with some good news as the company announced that it will resume full production at two of its Japanese plants in April. In particular, the firm's Hofu Plant No.1 and Hofu Plant No.2 will resume output on Fridays while the Hiroshima Plant's Ujina Plant No.1 and Ujina Plant No.2 will have production on the first and second Fridays in April.
The carmaker previously suspended production on Fridays at all of its plants in Japan in February and March due to plunging automobile demand that led to high inventory levels.
"Mazda will continue to manage inventory levels and maintain an appropriate balance in production supply, monitor market conditions that are changing daily, and respond swiftly with appropriate measures as necessary," said the company in a statement.
