Rayong Province is a strategic region that forms the core of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC)*1 being promoted by the Thai government, and is located near Laem Chabang Port, the country's largest international port. Mobility and technology companies from all over the world have been expanding into the region in recent years, and logistics demand is rapidly rising in anticipation of new supply chains to be established in future. The Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate (ESIE) is the largest industrial hub in Rayong Province, featuring a concentration of more than 500 Japanese and other foreign manufacturers, and the many other industrial parks being developed in the surrounding area will give the ESIE a central role in the province's supply chains.
The newly opened Eastern Seaboard Logistics Center has been situated in an area central to customers' supply chains to provide optimal logistics operations for mobility, technology and other companies. Leveraging this advantageous location, the NX Group can also meet sophisticated logistics needs such as Just-in-Time (JIT) logistics*2 and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI)*3.
The NX Group will continue supporting customers' businesses via logistics services with the aim of building high-quality global logistics platforms.
