The supplier said it had resumed production at 32 plants in China. It reported 2019 sales of $21 billion.

The supplier of exterior parts and fuel systems reported strong growth but operating margin fell due to depreciation and difficulties at a new U.S. factory.

The supplier anticipates production delays through February with some plants resuming operations in mid-to-late February, working to achieve full production through March.

A shortage of parts from China caused by the coronavirus epidemic could mean Nissan will have to suspend output at plants in Europe, the U.S. and other global markets.
