BANGKOK: Tucked away in a nondescript industrial estate close to Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport lies an assembly plant producing one of Subaru's best selling car models - the Forester.
Production started in March, and the plant aims to deliver more than 6,000 Subaru Foresters in its first operating year.Apart from customers in Thailand, cars made at the Bangkok plant will be exported to other Southeast Asian markets, in particular Cambodia, Vietnam and Malaysia, said deputy chairman and managing director of TCIL Glenn Tan.
"This strategic long term move will allow us to better manage our supply chain, widen our product line-up, localise better and be less dependent on supply from Japan," Mr Tan added."We will be better able to respond and meet consumer demand for Subaru vehicles in the region, and perhaps even beyond the region in future."
With an initial investment of more than 5 billion baht , the Bangkok plant will produce around 10,000 cars from 2020 onwards.
