According to the Thailand Board of Investment, the investment encompasses the production of power modules, semiconductor testing services, and the establishment of a research and development hub. The new plant will primarily manufacture power modules essential for electric vehicles, energy systems, and data centers. It is anticipated to create more than 5,000 local job opportunities for Thai workers.
