Malaysia Extends The Shutdown Period, Shimano Continues To Be Affected!

Due to the spread of the new crown epidemic, Shimano's factory in Malaysia will not reopen after June 29, the original date, and the Malaysian government will temporarily extend the shutdown period indefinitely.

Currently, Malaysia has an average of 6,500 new cases per week. Although the number of new additions is much smaller than before, Malaysia still chooses the method of total shutdown, so Malaysia's manufacturing production will be greatly affected by the total shutdown. The impact of the current shutdown on Shimano's production is unclear. This will only be known by paying attention to further details. It also depends on the length of the shutdown period of the Malaysian factory.

Shimano is a bicycle and sports and leisure company headquartered in Japan. Shimano has four manufacturing plants in Southeast Asia, located in China, Malaysia and Singapore.
