Tokyo, Japan – Asahi Group, Japan’s largest brewer and beverage producer, has been unable to resume operations across its domestic factories following a cyberattack that disrupted its order, shipping and support systems.
The firm operates 30 factories in Japan, manufacturing beer, beverages, and food products. While some production remains suspended, the full extent of the disruption—whether all factories have been affected—is still under investigation.
Asahi previously announced the suspension of order processing, shipment services and call centre functions due to a system outage caused by the attack. The company has confirmed that no personal data breaches have been detected so far.
At this stage, Asahi has not provided an estimate for when normal production might resume.
With roots dating back to 1889, Asahi has since expanded into a major global beverage company. Its portfolio includes Asahi Super Dry, Nikka Whisky, Mitsuya Cider, and various non-alcoholic brands, as well as international labels such as Peroni, Grolsch and London Pride.
The group continues investigating the cause of the breach while working to restore the affected systems and services across its network.
Further updates are expected once Asahi provides additional information.
