Thailand - Special Guest Country MSV 2014

Thailand has always been known for its natural abundance as the old Thai saying “In water there is fish, in the field, there is rice.” Today, the nation is also an exporter of industrial products to ASEAN and Europe worth over 200 Billion U.S. Dollars annually.

Major exports that drive the sector's growth come from the automotive, electronics, and electrical appliance industries, making Thailand a very attractive destination for foreign investment.

In 1999, the Subcontracting Promotion Association was established in Thailand by a group of parts manufacturers from the automotive and electrical appliance industries as an opportunity for buyers and sellers to get together.   Members meet with factory clients nationwide from the automotive, machinery, and electronic parts industries.
