Toyota Boshoku has begun making vehicle seat covers in Laos.
Manufacturing is being undertaken by Toyota Boshoku Lao which was recently established as a satellite to support seat production in Thailand. The seat covers will be supplied to the Thai factory.
Laos is convenient for distribution to Thailand and has stable electricity supply and other infrastructure. Because of the similarities between the Thai and Lao languages, Thai managers will be able to provide work-site instruction and training.
About 180 workers will produce 200,000 seat cover sets a year.
