Non so se e' notizia confermata ma dal sito di Tom Hogan (http://www.bythom.com/)
Mar 17 (news)--A quick summary of what is known: Nikon has closed their FX body and lens plants with no word on when they might be re-opened. Canon has closed several plants, the most relevant one being the one that makes their pro lenses. Fujiilm has closed the plant that makes the just released X100. Panasonic has closed the Fukushima plant that produces Lumix digital cameras. Sigma reported damage to equipment at one factory and suspended operations at two others due to rolling blackouts. An Epson plant was hit by the tsunami, and three others are currently shut down due to rolling blackouts. None of the photography-related companies so far have reported loss of life at any of the affected plants. Additionally, it's now reported that some container ships, of which some certainly held photographic gear, were destroyed in the tsunami.
It's clear that it is not business as usual in Japan and won't be any time soon. While all these companies have detailed business resumption plans, the rolling power outages are an unknown--it's difficult to resume operations at some plants, even outside the areas with damage, without knowing how reliable the power service will be. Some processes require continuous power availability. It may be awhile before this situation resolves itself and the industry gets back on its feet. Every company I've been monitoring has issued statements indicating that they are doing everything they can to get operations back as close to normal as possible. Most have also donated money and more to relief efforts, as well.
Resta certamente viva l'apprensione per la sorte della centrale Nucleare di Fukushima, davanti a queste catastrofi infatti il Marketing passa giustamente in secondo piano...
