“The disasters have damaged railways used for the delivery of goods and raw materials in both regions. Water rushed into industrial areas, extensively damaging facilities, machinery and warehouses, companies in the supply chain industry told CNBC.”

Some diecast makers have been slowly inching up their wholesale prices in recent months. Corgi, looking to pass along the entire increase in one fell swoop, indicated that prices are rising by 10% as of August 1st.
