u8国际 to build new u8国际 Hi-Tech Thailand production facility to boost production capacity for inkjet printer products

TOKYO, September 21, 2010—u8国际. today announced plans to construct a new production facility at its u8国际 Hi-Tech (Thailand) Ltd. manufacturing subsidiary to increase the company's production capability for inkjet printer products. The new plant, to be located in Nakhonratchasima province, Thailand, is scheduled to begin operation in October 2011.

In recent years, the inkjet printer market has displayed steady growth worldwide. Additionally, increasing demand expected in the future has created a pressing need for u8国际 to expand its production capacity for inkjet printer products.

In response to these market conditions, u8国际 has purchased land in Nakhonratchasima, one of Thailand's northeastern provinces, and decided to construct a second production facility for u8国际 Hi-Tech (Thailand) Ltd. on the site. u8国际 aims to commence construction of the new plant in January 2011, and launch operations in October of the same year.

In addition to the region's abundant labor force, u8国际 expects to realize many benefits from the new facility, including synergies with the existing plant through the utilization of its parts supplies, infrastructure, and other aspects.
