Sony suspends some production in Japan
Sony Corp. said Tuesday it was suspending production at some plants in Japan that make popular consumer electronics like digital cameras and televisions due to shortages of parts and raw materials following the calamitous earthquake earlier this month.
Toyota is suspending production at all 12 of its Japan plants for 11 days over February and March, a stoppage of unprecedented scale for the nation's top auto maker as it grapples with shrinking global demand.
