Mr. Ben Dobbs

Managing Director of Alliance Laundry (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The company built its factory in Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (Rayong), located in an inland area near the province’s border with Chonburi. There is no need to worry about floods, and also no problem regarding the supply of water and electricity. The transportation system including a high-standard highway is well-developed, and access to other areas is convenient, as it takes only 40–50 minutes by car to Siracha, which has a large population of Japanese residents.

Chairman of Matsui Eastern (Thailand) Co. Ltd

There are numerous advantages of being located at ESIE, such as the proximity to customers that results in reasonable logistics costs, the industrial estate’s good infrastructure, the green landscape and the no-flood risk. In terms of utilities, the plant is directly connected since last year to Gulf MP through an underground line for electricity supply, ensuring power stability. This is a great advantage during difficult weather conditions,

Good infrastructure is a main requirement, as well as convenient location, easy access and overall safety. WHA ESIE 2 is the perfect match for us, with all infrastructure already complete, making it easier to respect our construction calendar, so we can avoid gaps in our production schedule. Plus, many of our customers in the automotive cluster are located in the vicinity.

Being one of the first occupants of WHA ESIE 2 was also a plus as it made it easier to meet our plant’s strict regulations and specifications, especially in terms of environment protection. WHA’s great experience as a long-term promoter of Thailand’s automotive cluster helped significantly.

One of the key advantages of being located at ESIE is the possibility to find skilled labor in the industrial estate’s neighborhood. With our industry’s increasing automation and use of advanced technologies, we need qualified engineers and technicians who are able to handle these sophisticated machines and robots, and we found that ESIE works as an “ecosystem” which makes it easier to find these people.

President of AW (Thailand) Co. Ltd

NIKKAKI chose a ready-built factory in the Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate in Rayong, part of WHA Industrial Development, due to its accessibility close to highways and ports, friendly and attentive staff, and the strength of the brand (formerly known as Hemaraj).

Seeing the strong horizontal ties across businesses in the industrial areas of Thailand, Mr. Sumio said that Hemaraj’s offering was above those of other estates. In particular, the concrete floor was thick and could withstand 5 tons, alongside quality gutters, good drainage, access roads and the excellent location.
