Overview

• Order and shipment systems at Asahi’s Japan group companies are offline, and customer-service call centers are unavailable.
• Production remains halted at some of the brewer’s roughly 30 domestic plants as the scope of the outage is assessed.
• Asahi reports no impact to its European manufacturing, including UK beer supply, and says overseas operations continue normally.
• No attacker has been identified and no group has claimed responsibility, and the company has reported no confirmed exposure of personal or customer data.
• There is no timeline for restoring services, raising near-term operational risk in a market that contributes a large share of Asahi’s profits.
