Following the restart of operations at the Companys Rangsit Factory and one of its Ayutthaya Factories, and the commencement of alternative production in Rayong Province that substitutes for part of the Companys Bangkadi operations, Nidec Copal (Thailand) Co., Ltd. started alternative production on November 12 at a leased factory in Uthai Thani Province.
