The Oppama plant, once a symbol of Nissan's growth, may face closure due to the company's deepening financial troubles. Opened in 1961, this key facility has been a significant contributor to the local economy and employed 3,900 workers. However, with sales declining in major markets like the US and China, and mounting debt, Nissan's management has announced plans for substantial workforce cuts and factory closures. The potential shutdown of Oppama poses risks not only to Nissan employees but also to local businesses reliant on the plant, signaling a broader economic shift in Yokosuka and the Japanese automotive industry.
