Initial focus will be on supporting the DESKLINE business in the APAC region and USA. As demand increases, and with the addition of new product releases, LINAK plans to gradually expand the availability of these locally produced products throughout Asia. The first actuators destined for customers will leave the site in Q1 of 2021.
The location in the Chonburi province, 100 kilometres southeast of Bangkok, is ideal, as it is both close to an important seaport and to Bangkok International airport. Furthermore, the region is home to many automotive suppliers and other highly technical industries due to the strong workforce in the area with high-tech competences.
“The LINAK APAC factory is an important investment in the Asian Market. I strongly believe in the philosophy of being close to our customers, and being able to deliver competitive products with short lead times is a big part of that.”
