On April 20, a 7.7‑magnitude earthquake struck off northeastern Japan, shaking key semiconductor regions including Aomori, Iwate, and Miyagi prefectures. The tremor raised global concerns over supply chain stability.

Kioxia quickly issued a statement: its Kitakami factory buildings and facilities suffered no damage. The Kitakami plant continues normal production.

Tokyo Electron (TEL) also confirmed that its Tohoku Technical Solutions Factory and Miyagi headquarters remain fully operational with no damage to structures or equipment.

Both major players are operating normally – easing fears of semiconductor supply disruptions.
