Our deepest sympathies go out to all those who are in a difficult situation due to the spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) infections and we sincerely pray for those affected by the virus to recover as soon as possible.
MinebeaMitsumi hereby announces that we donated medical items such as about 150,000 of N95 masks, goggles, face guards, and nitrile gloves, that had been stockpiled in various places for the purpose of our disaster countermeasures including infectious diseases and volcanic eruptions, to medical institutions in Japan and overseas who have always been supporting our corporate activities especially the health of our employees and the government of the Southeast Asian countries where we have operations.
We have received great appreciation from various medical institutions in this regard. MinebeaMitsumi will continue to express our sincere appreciation and great respect for those who are on the frontline of coronavirus treatment and provide the necessary support for the prevention of the spread of infections.

As the new coronavirus outbreak continues to spread globally, some plants of our subsidiary, U-Shin Ltd., in Europe are adjusting their production in response to the request of the central and local governments. However, regular operation is in progress in the MinebeaMitsumi Group in Asia, including Japan, and in Europe and the United States and all other global locations except for some regions where we conduct limited operations.
In the medical field, we supply bearings, various motors, sensors, power supplies, semiconductors, connectors, etc. to various medical devices such as ventilators and cardiopulmonary bypass devices. We will continue to have a resilient and stable supply system and place the top priority on supplying our parts to meet the growing needs.
