Previously, Nissei branches in Thailand were a representative office, which opened in 1971, and a sales subsidiary “Nissei Plastic (Thailand) Co., Ltd.,” which was established in 1994 in Bangkok. A technical centre in Samut Prakan, which is located near Bangkok Metropolitan Region, was opened in 2005 and has provided user support and strengthened sales. Establishment of the new production subsidiary will reinforce coordination with production, sales, and service to promote further expansion of business in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
