Homa, a global refrigerator and freezer manufacturer, is investing 3.1 billion baht to build a production facility in Amata Industrial Estate, Chachoengsao, with a capacity of 1.5 million units annually. The facility will target European markets and aims to generate 12 billion baht in annual exports while creating 3,000 jobs within 1-2 years. The investment exemplifies broader FDI trends of supply-chain diversification away from China, positioning Thailand as a regional manufacturing and export hub for global appliance brands.
