Unhappy SSR Bankruptcy !

Speed Star Co. and affiliate applying self bankruptcy

Speed Star Co., manufacturer of aluminum wheel production (Osaka
prefecture Yao city, President Masanobu Hamada) with its sales arm,
Speed Star Sales (Osaka city, President Nobuko Hamada) on the 27th,
self bankruptcy was applied for in the Osaka district court. Debt
total was registered as 67 hundred million yen (~$60 million USD)
Speed Star Co. cites increasing overseas competition as factors to its
declining sales, and as a result applied self bankruptcy to itself and
also Speed Star Sales Co.
