Over the past 10 years since its founding in 2013, Azbil Production (Thailand) has worked to improve its manufacturing technology and expand the repertoire of items it produces. Currently it produces a wide range of products, including industrial temperature controllers, various types of sensors, and HVAC controllers. It also plays an important role as a production and direct shipping base for products destined for Southeast Asian and East Asian countries. The new factory building will feature a production line that will efficiently arrange large-scale processing, assembly, painting, inspection, and shipping functions, with a focus on electromagnetic flowmeters. We will gradually launch new processes from April 2024 and proceed with the introduction of automated facilities.
The completion of this new factory building will enable us to meet the expected increase in demand in line with the expansion of our group's overseas business. We will further strengthen our production capacity and expand our product lineup to meet the needs of the Group’s overseas customers for various products that require advanced production technology, such as electromagnetic flowmeters and differential pressure transmitters for the industrial market.
The azbil Group’s first overseas production base was Azbil Control Instruments (Dalian) in China, established in 1994, and Azbil Production (Thailand) was added in 2013 to expand overseas production capacity. In addition, in order to further the development and automation of advanced production technology, in 2019 Azbil began full-scale operation of its “mother factory,” consisting of the Shonan Factory linked with the Fujisawa Technology Center R&D base, to strengthen its three-pillar global production system in Japan, China, and Thailand. We will continue to expand the scale and capacity of our overseas production in order to continue to expand our overseas business.
