"This investment underscores our long-term commitment to Thailand, and its role as a global production and export hub for Ford. The decision to build our new plant was supported by Thailand’s world-class automotive industry and logistics and export infrastructure."
"The auto industry is growing rapidly in Asia, everywhere from China to India to Thailand and markets all around ASEAN. Even during the global economic downturn, the Asia-Pacific auto market grew, and currently we are seeing a 15% increase from last year. That is one of the major reasons we need this new facility in Thailand for additional capacity."
