Management and employees alike have been devastated by the disaster and its consequences. Fortunately, our own locations and employees have been largely spared the effects of this catastrophe.

We have set up a crisis team of specialists from various departments in order to use all of our resources to provide support to our colleagues in Japan and their families," explained Degenhart. Continental employs around 950 people at a total of seven locations in Japan.
