Japanese motor manufacturer Nidec will cease operations at its Poipet plant in Cambodia and progressively relocate production to facilities in Thailand, Southeast Asia. The company cited ongoing tensions along the Thai-Cambodian border as the reason for its decision, stating that it can no longer guarantee the stability of its regional supply chain.
Consequently, parts previously transported by truck from the Poipet plant to Nidec facilities in Thailand are now facing increasingly uncertain and costly cross-border logistics due to persistent land crossings disruptions. Nidec operates two die-casting plants in Thailand, located in Bowin and Pinthong, which manufacture components for precision motors.
The announcement will impact 724 employees and local businesses dependent on the Cambodian plant. The move comes amid continuous border tensions that have been disrupting cross-border trade and manufacturing operations in the region.
