Building Local ASEAN Production and Supply Capabilities through a Thai Manufacturing Subsidiary

「To date, we have primarily exported products, including commercial kitchen equipment such as noodle cookers and fryers, from production bases in Japan to customers overseas. However, in response to the growing demand for Japanese food in the ASEAN region in recent years, producing and supplying products closer to the market has become an urgent issue. In response to these changes in the operating environment, we will establish a new manufacturing base in Thailand, the economic center of the ASEAN countries, and establish a local manufacturing system that meets overseas standards. This will shorten delivery times within Thailand and to other ASEAN countries. Going forward, we will transfer the advanced quality control systems and manufacturing expertise developed in Japan and establish a framework for supplying Japanese-quality kitchen equipment.」
