The study predicts yet more manufacturers will move into Thailand and expand their production facilities there.

Saha has developed four industrial parks in Thailand since 1974 start by Sri Racha following with Kabin Buri, Lamphun, and Mae Sot. This means that Sojitz can offer prospective investors suitable industrial park matched to the client’s needs.

Sojitz will use its experience gained through work on industrial parks in Vietnam, Indonesia, India, and the Philippines to provide even stronger offers to Japanese companies considering expansion into Asia together with Saha, support entry into Saha’s four industrial parks in Thailand, and contribute to the advancement of Thailand’s industry.
