TAKAHATA is a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) engaging in manufacturing and sales of engineering plastic parts, including for automobiles (especially those used for the fuel control system). Given the prospect of increasing demand for automobiles and products in automobile-related industries in Thailand backed by economic growth, TAKAHATA intends to increase the capacity of the plant of TPTH for expanding business in ASEAN countries. This loan will support the overseas business deployment of TPTH and thereby contribute to maintaining and improving the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.
