Asahi Group Has Partially Restarted Beer Production, Shipments in Japan

By Kosaku Narioka

Asahi Group has partially restarted beer production and shipments in Japan, a spokeswoman said, after its operations were disrupted last week by a cyberattack.

The Japanese maker of beer and other beverages resumed production at six domestic plants on Thursday and shipments began thereafter, she said.

Asahi started taking orders manually on Wednesday and shipments are much lower than before the cyberattack, she said. The company isn't certain when the system will be restored, she said.

Asahi said last Monday said that order and shipment operations and call-center operations were suspended due to the system failure.

Shares were recently 1.6% higher on Monday, after losing about 7% last week.
