Nexperia, a Chinese capital semiconductor factory headquartered in the Netherlands, temporarily stopped shipments due to the conflict between China and the Netherlands, triggering a shortage of semiconductors and dragging the Japanese automaker Honda to suspend or reduce production at its North American factory. As Anshi restarts supply, it is reported that Honda's North American factory aims to resume normal production from November 24.
Nikkei reported on the 18th that Honda's North American factories that have suspended or reduced production due to the shortage of semiconductors aim to resume normal production from November 24, mainly because Anshi has begun shipping semiconductors.
Honda's Mexican plant has suspended production since October 28, and its U.S. and Canadian plants have reduced production since October 27. Honda has informed parts suppliers that the above-mentioned plants will continue to suspend and reduce production until November 21, and will resume normal production from November 24 depending on the situation.
Honda uses General Semiconductor produced by Nexperia in some auto parts. Honda's U.S. subsidiary said it "will gradually resume normal production depending on inventory and other conditions." However, the restart time may change depending on inventory conditions.
Honda ADR, which is listed in the United States, plunged 3.56% on the 17th to close at $29.0, setting a new closing low in about four and a half months (since June 30).
