Our colleagues in Thailand are creating new growth
prospects in the Asian economic region: With the symbolic First Stone ceremony
on 15 March, employees and guests of honor celebrated the expansion of our
production facility on a 10,000 square metres building area in Bangplee.
50
million euros will be invested in the site's expansion. The new production area
is to be ready for operation in the summer of 2019 and will house the deodorant
roll-on manufacturing in particular. “With the capacity expansion of our Thai
plant, we are creating additional growth prospects and are further strengthening
our position in the Asian economic region," said Ralph Gusko, member of
the Executive Board, at the ceremony. Operations Director Markus Daburger also
stressed the regional importance of the production center: "With its
flexible technological possibilities, this plant plays a strategically
important role for the Asia Pacific region. Safety, quality and efficiency were
just as much a priority in the planning of the new production facilities as the
subject of sustainability."
