Quake Hit Suntory Beer Factory to Resume Operations in 3 to 4 Months The aftermath of Japan's recent earthquake has left Suntory Holdings scrambling to rebuild its Kashima plant in Kumamoto Prefecture.
The company is optimistic about resuming production within three to four months, but the disaster will have far reaching implications for Japan's brewing industry.
Suntory's experience from the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, which took over a year and a half to recover from, should serve as a warning sign.
