Ford Thailand celebrates three decades of operations, highlighting a cumulative investment of 133 billion baht and a commitment to ongoing local manufacturing.
Ford Thailand recently commemorated its 30th anniversary, reflecting on three decades of growth within the country’s automotive sector. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the company has invested a cumulative total of 133 billion baht into its operations. This capital has supported the development of two major global production facilities: Ford Thailand Manufacturing (FTM) and AutoAlliance Thailand.
Managing Director Ratthakarn Jutasen stated that the company’s impact extends beyond vehicle production and export figures. He emphasized that Ford’s presence has contributed to local job creation, workforce skill development, and the growth of various business partners. The company credits its longevity to the collaboration between employees, dealers, and the local community.
For residents and those living in Thailand, this milestone underscores the stability of a major industrial employer that remains a significant part of the local automotive landscape. The continued investment suggests a long-term commitment to maintaining production capacity within the country. While the company has confirmed its intent to continue operations alongside Thailand, specific details regarding future expansion plans or new model production lines remain to be confirmed. As Ford continues its journey, the focus remains on maintaining the trust of its customer base and supporting the communities surrounding its manufacturing hubs.
