Teijin Limited has announced that Teijin (Thailand) Limited in the Bang Pa-in Industrial Estate of Thailand’s Ayutthaya Province, which was flooded by torrential rainfall in October 2011 and then resumed partial operation in February this year, returned to full-scale production on October 31. All three Teijin Group polyester production facilities in Thailand affected by the flooding are again operating normally.

The other two facilities — Teijin Polyester (Thailand) Limited in Pathum Thani Province and Teijin Cord (Thailand) Co., Ltd. in the Rojana Industrial Park of Ayutthaya Province — resumed full-scale production in September and August, respectively.

Teijin explains that with the three facilities operating normally, output will focus on high-profit, high-performance products that strengthen the Teijin Group’s competitive edge in global polyester fibre production.
