A Message From Our New York Director
Dear Partners, Colleagues and Friends,
Like me, I am sure you have heard the buzz around supply chains and the hurdles companies are going through to get their products made and to market. Supply chain solutions are top of mind for many CEOs around the world as raw materials and component shortages continue to disrupt production lines.
Supply chains are top of mind in Thailand as well. The Thai market is a manufacturing market that specializes in electronics, automotive manufacturing, and many other areas of the industrial and consumer supply chain.
To highlight our capabilities and the Thai companies offering manufacturing and subcontracting solutions, the Thailand Board of Investment and our partners, will be hosting SUBCON Thailand, the ASEAN market's largest manufacturing matchmaking and partnering event, on May 12-15. The feature story in this edition of our newsletter focuses on SUBCON THAILAND. The event will be held in-person and virtually.
We hope to see you all there, as you explore the services that Thai companies can offer your companies.
As always, if you require any assistance with information on investing in or finding a manufacturing partner in Thailand, my team and I stand ready to assist you.
Best regards,
Vorawan Norasucha
Director, New York
Thailand Board of Investment
