OSAKA, Japan (BRAIN) — Shimano has re-opened its factory in Malaysia, according to a report out of Europe. The company's factory there had been closed since about June 14, and had operated at 60% capacity for two weeks before that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bike Europe reports that Shimano has announced it is “pleased to announce the resumption of our factory operations from 15 July, as per the permission of the Malaysian government.”
