THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai government in 2013 implemented a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deployed new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external economic shocks in recent years. The global economic recession severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In late 2011 Thailand's recovery was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. The government approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the following seven years. This was expected to lead to an economic upsurge but growth has remained slow, in part due to ongoing political unrest and resulting uncertainties. Spending on infrastructure will require re-approval once a new government is seated

BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

The subject is one  of  the largest  manufacturers of carbon  black  in  Asia.  Its  manufacturing  plant  currently  is  able  to  produce  up  to  275,000  metric  tons  per  year  of  furnace  grade  carbon  black,  making  the  plant  one  of  the  largest  producers  of  carbon  black  in  the  world  from  a  single  location -Thailand.  And  from  this  location,  the  plant  supplies  carbon  black  to  all  six  continents.  There  are  three  kinds  of  carbon  black:   channel  black,  furnace  black  and  thermal  black.  The  products  can  be  divided  into  2  grades,  comprising  hard  carbon  black  and  soft  carbon  black.

 

The  Application  of  Carbon  Black

 

Carbon  black  is  employed  for  many  different  applications.  It  is  an  essential  element  in  paint,  printing  ink,  batteries,  electric  conductors  and  a  broad  range  of  rubber  products.   Carbon  black  can  be  found  in  most  items  in  daily  life.   In  addition,  carbon  black  acts  as  a  reinforcing  agent  in  the  production  of  tyres,  imparting  abrasion,  tear  resistance  and  important  we-grip  properties.  Carbon  black  consists  of  extremely  fine  particles,  which  are  produced  by  the  incomplete  thermal  decomposition  of  aromatic  oils  under  carefully  controlled  conditions.  Different  grades  of  carbon  blacks  differ  in  their  colloidal  properties  and  tend  to  impart  varying  degrees  of  reinforcement  to  vulcanisates.

 

The  subject  also  has  capacity  to  produce  370  metric  tons  per  hour  of  steam  and  49.70  MW  per  hour  of  electricity.
