On January 13, in order to avoid the spread of the new coronavirus throughout the country, the Japanese government has extended the declaration of a state of emergency to seven prefectures (from 14 January to 7 February), including Tochigi Prefecture, where Gigaphoton’s headquarters are located.

We will continue to produce, supply equipment and parts to the customers, and provide service and support to the semiconductor fabs, as we are required by the authority to continue business even under the declared emergency situation. We will also continue to carefully check the production and supply capacity of our suppliers.

<Our countermeasures against new coronavirus infection>

  1. Mandatory hand-washing and mask wearing
