Nidec halts subsidiaries' operations in Thailand

Flood damages have forced the company to halt operations of Nidec Electronics and Nidec Precision in Ayutthaya, Thailand.

Nidec Corporation announced the current status of flood damages to its subsidiaries in northwest Thailand, the region which has been subjected to intermittent heavy rains since July.

Two of the Company’s manufacturing subsidiaries in Thailand, Nidec Electronics (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Nidec Precision (Thailand) Co., Ltd., both located in Rojana Industrial Park, Ayutthaya, have halted operations since October 10 due to inundation, power outages and an evacuation order issued across the entire Rojana Industrial Park. None of the Company’s other factories outside the Rojana Industrial Park have been experiencing any water immersion currently, and they are operating normally.

The Company plans to lay out an operation schedule for the currently inoperative factories based on changes in the situation. We apologize for any inconveniences caused by these circumstances and sincerely request your patience and understanding.

The exact amount of damage and the effect of the floods on the Company’s performance are yet to be assessed. We will continue to report on any actual or potential impact on the Company’s business performance in a prompt manner.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
