The company has supported many of its business partners in their expansion into the Thai market.

The Thai factory, which moved to its current location in 1995, expanded its site area in 2021 during the corona pandemic. Expansion land was acquired and expanded to 38,000 ㎡, which is 2.4 times larger than current.
