Taiyo Yuden announced that, as of March 18th, recordable optical disc production (CD-R, DVD-R, BD-R) at its That’s Fukushima subsidiary will remain offline until further notice.

According to the statement, the plant suffered building and equipment damage from the earthquake that struck the northern region of Japan on March 11, 2011 and power outages in the region continue to frustrate the company’s efforts to resume operations.
