Honda in Thailand has plans to ask for a government meeting to discuss relief measures for the company and its operations in Thailand following a massive flood that devastated its operations in hopes of reducing the impact on 10 000 of its workers. Honda says that the benefits will extend to the country's economy as a whole. Honda is working hard to find ways to resume operations as fast as possible so that the least amount of parties are affected.
The recent disruption has also hit exports from Honda's manufacturing plant in Thailand creating a limited export stock. Honda continues to be confident about Thailand as a manufacturing base and Honda is urging the government to launch effective measures to prevent floods from damaging production sectors.
Since a massive flood last week, Honda has had to cut major production capacity and temporarily suspend part of production in its Rojana Industrial Park plants in Ayutthaya.
When Honda will be able to resume production will depend on when the government can drain the water out of the Rojana Industrial Park.
