Notice : Report on SMC's Response to the Nuclear Power Plant Accident

The radiation at all SMC factories and warehouses and on all our products is not at a level that merits concern.

1. Factory Onsite Conditions
The closest SMC factory to the Fukushima 1 nuclear power plant is the Yamatsuri factory and this is located over 80 km away.

2. SMC's Surveillance System
SMC is concurrently monitoring public agency and publically announced measurements, and is using equipment installed at our business locations to independently monitor and measure radiation levels.
Our conclusion, at this time, is that radiation is at natural, everyday levels and that there is no need for concern about the effects of the radiation. However, we will continue to use caution in regards to this matter.
