He said late Thursday in semiconductor that two previously closed wafer-fabrication plants was again after the restoration of power and other services in Japan.
On, based in Phoenix, is one of a handful of local companies hit hardest by the disaster in Japan after a 11 March earthquake and tsunamis.
The company said production was started by ramping up to full recovery to a fab holds the Aizu, and Sanyo Semiconductor one manages to Gunma. For purchased Sanyo Jan. 1, and operates as an independent section.
The two companies have about 6,000 employees in Japan. There were no physical injuries from the earthquake.
Together, ON and Sanyo operate four wafer fabs and two test and Assembly facilities in Japan.
"All the company's wafer fabs and back-end facilities are open and functioning," the company said on its website.
This week, said revenues could drop by as much as 4 percent during the first quarter due to disruption of electricity and other services in Japan.
Last year, produced and transported more than 38 million units. Less than 1 percent of the devices were produced in an establishment of Aizu.
Many other establishments in Japan with ties to Metro Phoenix remained closed Friday.
The semiconductor segment, which has a large presence in Chandler and Tempe, said Thursday that the plant in Sendai, the nearest to the epicentre of the earthquake fab, remained closed.
"Since the initial earthquake, the loss of energy, gas, water and wastewater and other disorders associated with earthquake continue to complicate our estimate of the damage," Rich Beyer, Department Chairman and CEO, wrote in a letter to its customers. "These challenges are exacerbated by more than 600 aftershocks, many posting to a magnitude of 6.0 or greater."
Beyer said the company the gradual progress in the evaluation of the impact of losses.
2010 Department announced that it planned to close the factory in Sendai during the fourth quarter of 2011. Pending that, Beyer said the company had build large stocks and provided for use for short-term supply gaps.
This has also relocation in factories in Chandler and Texas.
"At this moment, we see potential vulnerabilities from major world suppliers supply the final manufacturing materials, including mold, substrates and the lead," Beyer wrote.
The company also said it had set up a foundation in support of relief for workers and their families in Japan.
According to based on the website of Chandler Amkor Technology Inc., a semiconductor packaging, installing in Kitakami remained closed.
2010 Japan accounted for 13.9 percent of total revenue world-electronic equipment factory, according to a preliminary assessment of the IHS iSuppli. This includes manufacturing all electronic equipment, including computers, consumer-electronics and communications gear. Japan produced 216.6 billion dollars worth of electronic equipment in 2010, compared to 1.6 trillion dollars worldwide.
