WHA Ready-Built Factories’ Flexibility and Readiness Facilitate Business Expansion

Established in May 1999 in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, Harvest Precision Industries SDN BHD specializes in the design and manufacture of metal stamping parts and precision tool spare parts. The company supplies two principal industries: electronics (65%) and automotive (35%). Its products are widely used for digital cameras, copiers, mobile phones, and car audio and information systems.

In 2012, Harvest Precision decided to set up a production facility at WHA Saraburi Industrial Land (WHA SIL), to get closer to an existing customer. Encouraged by incentives from the Board of Investment (BOI), Harvest Precision rented a Ready Built Factory (RBF) on a 1,224 sq.m. from WHA. Just seven years later, when the Saraburi plant reached full capacity, the company opted to rent a 1,152 sq.m. RBF facility at Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (ESIE) in Rayong to expand its customer reach.

“Thanks to the efficient support of the WHA team and the conveniences of the RBF, it took us only six months between the moment we made the decision to set up a second manufacturing unit and the start of operations,” explains Mr. Christopher Ong, the Singaporean Managing Director of Harvest Precision (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Today, with a team of 50 employees dispatched between its facilities in Saraburi and Rayong, Harvest Precision can supply its blue-chip international customers in electronics (Canon, Epson, Kenwood, Nikon, Ricoh, Sony) and the automotive sector (Denso, Ford, Honda, Isuzu, Nissan, Toyota).

Currently in the development of Phase 1 at its Rayong location, the company foresees further expansion in a couple of years. “WHA Industrial Estate offers the double advantage of flexibility and readiness, so we can prepare the future with serenity and confidence. Being in accessible and modern industrial estates with excellent infrastructure also helps us attract the high-skilled technicians and employees that our industry requires,” adds Mr. Ong.
