-- With a traditional ceremony, BorgWarner celebrated the
inauguration of its newest production plant in the Eastern Seaboard
Industrial Estate of Rayong, Thailand, on March 7,
2018. With a total area of 69,965 square feet (6,500 square
meters), the facility includes a leading-edge production line for
advanced turbocharging solutions. BorgWarner, a global product
leader in clean and efficient technology solutions for combustion,

demand in the expanding Southeast Asian automotive market along
with global automakers based in the region.
"Thailand is a very important
production base for Asian automakers and offers an excellent
business environment," said Robin
Kendrick, President and General Manager, BorgWarner Turbo
Systems. "Many leading automakers have production facilities in
Thailand. With our new facility in
Rayong we serve them with localized manufacturing to meet their
thriving demand while strengthening our leadership position."
Using the experience gained in its other production plants, the
latest BorgWarner facility was designed following lean production
principles, making the flow of people and materials along the line
clear and efficient. Production takes place in a clean environment
with an over-pressurized and air-conditioned airlock-enclosed shop
floor to keep out any particles that might interfere with
production processes.
Numerous government officials as well as customers, BorgWarner
executives and employees attended the opening ceremony. Official
speeches, a monk ceremony, ribbon cutting, drum shows and a
